1963 FenderStratocaster – Blue Sparkle
This 1963 Fender Stratocaster features an original Blue Sparkle finish! This well-preserved example features blue flecks, complemented by hints of green, giving this gem an “aqua” appearance. These unique finishes were often outsourced to local automotive and furniture shops to create a truly unbelievable finish. In our opinion, the guitar is in excellent shape, with original components. This guitar sports 47th-week-of-1963 pots, a November 1963 neck date, and no visible body date. The pickups are not dated, which is correct for this time period. Its playability and sound match its stunning looks, and these original frets still have plenty of life left!
