1961 Fender Stratocaster Olympic White

This 1961 Fender Stratocaster, refinished in Olympic White, is a tangible piece of music history, having been owned and played by the legendary Vic Flick from Herman's Hermits and the John Barry Seven. Flick, known for his iconic James Bond theme, lent his talent to countless hits of the 1960s and beyond, making this guitar a true relic of a golden era.

The heart and soul of this Stratocaster remain intact, with its three original pickups and 3-way switch producing that signature Fender sound heard on countless recordings. The mint green pickguard adds a touch of vintage charm to the guitar's classic design.

The maple neck, with its slab Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard and clay dots, bears the mark of decades of playing, a testament to the guitar's rich history. The original spaghetti logo on the headstock is a reminder of the instrument's heritage, while modern Kluson tuner replacements ensure optimal functionality.
