This is a not very original 1963 Fender Stratocaster. I have the original brown hardshell case for it and it has the original neck; sort of. It's been refretted and appears to have had a locking nut fitted to it at one time. I wonder how many really nice old guitars were destoyed in the 80s? In any case with a little bit of help from the Fender custom shop and some TLC it's been turned into a nice player. It'll never be worth anything, but then it'll never be locked in a closet to rot either.

Here's a picture of Karl's very original 1961 Strat. I believe everything is original except for the frets.
