| Tech Notes: | This Stratocaster plays well with low action. The frets are tall and show light wear. This Stratocaster is being dated to 1959 based on the codes on the tone pots, the serial number, the lack of pencil mark on the neck(this practice was halted for a period of time in 1959), and the "59" located in the back tremolo cavity. |
