NEV'S GAS OF THE MONTH

Since I’m reminiscing about old gear…

What? Original 1962 Fender Stratocaster (refin) Where seen? ATB Guitars, Cheltenham Price? £10,495 Description? This is almost identical to the white Strat I bought in 1971 and used through that old AC30 and, less successfully, into the Dual Showman.This one was refinished decades ago and was in the same family for 46 years. Okay, 10k-plus is not to be sneezed at, but have you seen what Master Built Fenders are fetching these days? Almost everything else on the guitar is‘correct’with gorgeous green celluloid guard, beautifully patina’d hardware and almost black Brazilian rosewood ’board with dirty clay dots. It comes with the original Selmer style case, too, is visually stunning and apparently plays and sounds amazing, too. Now where did I put that lottery ticket?
