50 INSTANT CREDIT WINS + 20 MYSTERY PRIZES BELOW

What we have here may shock you! One of the most emulated, coveted and valuable guitars of all time. An original 1964 pre-CBS Fender Stratocaster in a custom colour, Olympic White!

We are guessing that if you’re reading this you already know how much of a big deal this guitar is; the legendary guitarists that have played them, the mystique that follows them and the pure magic that surrounds them. From the full and woody neck pickup to the bite and chime of the bridge pickup, this is a jaw-dropping-sounding vintage guitar. The neck is stamped 1963 and the neck shape from this year is often marvelled over by artists like John Mayer. The Silver Sky, Johns’s signature model is based on a 63/64 Strat neck. It is a joy to play and with the dark Brazilian rosewood fretboard, it complements beautifully with the Olympic White finish.

A rare opportunity to own a piece of music history, guitars of this provenance and quality do not come up very often!
