1955 Fender Stratocaster – Blond w/ Anodized Guard

Well Strung Guitars

Description

I mean… this guitar is just show-stopping. This 1955 Fender Stratocaster in Blond features a gold anodized pickguard! Blond was a color option for early Stratocasters, but it was hardly ever ordered, and we certainly don’t see them sporting gold anodized guards often! This particular piece has gorgeous wear and patina, with some delicate weather checking that looks beautiful on the Blond finish and Ash grain. This lightweight ash body makes for a nimble playing experience with excellent resonance and a crisp top end. Overall, this Blond and Gold combo makes for a striking look, with the sound and playability pushing it to another level entirely. 


Overall Condition: 8, checking, playwear, buckle rash
