How long have you been waiting for a Strat like this?This 1956 Strat is so fine and it reminds me so much of my 1959 Fender P bass I have had for 40 years now. It has the same vintage smell, 2 tone burst look, etc. It just gives off the same VIBE'.Cosmetically the guitar has a nice clean look on the top. It is the back and sides of the body that took the beating.Anyway this Strat just plays and sounds so dam good. Just heaven and so easy to play. The sound and tones it produces are just like no other.
