1964 Fender Stratocaster – Lake Placid Blue (NAMM)

Description

This 1964 Fender Stratocaster in Lake Placid Blue features a matching headstock! This extraordinary piece was made specifically for the NAMM show. To highlight some of their spec changes, Fender produced several guitars for the show, including this guitar and another Stratocaster with a matching headstock in Charcoal Frost Metallic! The pair of Stratocasters was made to highlight Fender’s logo change, so you will notice that this guitar features a spaghetti logo, while the Charcoal Frost Strat features a Transition logo. The finish on this guitar is in fantastic condition; it’s a great example of true LPB! It hasn’t yellowed at all with age and is still as vibrant as the day it left the factory. It sounds excellent, thanks to these beautifully voiced single-coil pickups, and feels fantastic in the hand too!
