This STRAT Sustains and Strings Just Keep Vibrating for EVER*************** Well here is Olympic White Late 1961 Strat! Read Up!
This is All Orig but OVERSPRAYED In Nitro Olympic White nitro 35+ Years Ago, OVER the Original Olympic White Rare Color. ALSO RARE Is the Turtle Shell Pickguard. The very 1st Picture is Actual Color. Some look White White (Because of flash), the Color is Off White Creamish OLD L@@KiNG Color
Under the Pickguard, Inside Output Jack, Inside back Tremolo, Neck Pocket is Real Deal Orig Finish. It was Re Shot Over the Original color to clean it up. Remember this the the Thing back then. Old Beat up was not Cool. (It was to me way BEFORE SRV)

Neck Plate is 77536. Now Fender had neck plate dates in 1961 till 77754. You can call this a 1962 Strat if you want. It has Gold Liner in case, Fender went to Orange inside in 62. Now before you ALL freak. I have seen pen date in neck pocket on PRE CBS. Look inside control cavity in pictures. You see a 5 in there, with a little overspray over it. Look at color of Blue pen, it matches the color in neck pocket. INSIDE ios ORIGINAL Finish. Look at the hair of worm route in Bridge Pickup cavity?
