1966 FenderStratocaster – Lake Placid Blue


Here’s an extremely well-kept 1966 Fender Stratocaster in its original Lake Placid Blue finish! Fender first introduced the larger headstock design in 1966, and this example has a beautiful flame maple neck to beautifully display this change! The color of this board is stunning. We adore it when the rosewood has this warm reddish hue, and it looks particularly great with this custom-colored finish. This guitar is fully original, including the hardware and finish, with no touch-ups or repairs. The three single-coil pickups are all extremely well-balanced, and each sounds incredible in its own right. The original frets have plenty of life left in them, and it’s a joy to play!
