The frets are narrow and tall with minimal play wear. The serial number, pots and body pencil date all date to 1959. This is a very early production of a slab board neck Strat with the transitional 1 ply pick guard. The combination of these appointments only happened for a very small window of time, making this an even more collectible example.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrem Arm Included?\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45974734078087,"sku":"U7831861701","price":56841.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/fender-electric-guitars-fender-stratocaster-blonde-1959-fender-stratocaster-blonde-1959-u7831861701-1260313882.jpg?v=1790721939","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/en-gb\/products\/fender-stratocaster-blonde-1959-2682542","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
