1964 Eddie Vegas Build UNREAL In Every way!
All these parts were in my shop. Dan Erliwine Built Body, Tom Murphy finish it. CS Neck Bridge. KILLER assembly. Real 65 neck plate and output.7.8lbs. It REALLY Is Way Better Than Custom Shop. Built by me.. Choice Parts.. Fender Man... Me!
Below is the write up of each Strat part I used. The total of them parts is the price. I built, I set up. But to be honest it went together so quick, set up so easy. Stayed in tune right from the Git Go. It's just Great Old Quality parts, and Better than your machine built assembly line production Strat. I just don't just build a junk and say it's all this or that and it's not. 1st that's not me, 2nd word get around I'm full of crap and the bills stopped being paid.. You get my point. :)
1964 PRE CBS FENDER STRAT BODY REFINISHED BY TOM MURPHY
Body was made by Dan Erlewine. Alder wood. He is famous repair luthier. Book writer, inventor, online guru. Etc Etc!
The PRO Player I got this body from knows Dan and Tom well. Got a Body Made and Tom refinished. Who is better to do Both on earth????? Think on That!
Sale is for Body Only. I threw some parts in there to give you the L@@K. Parts were just there on my bench in my shop. But look how good and tight and perfect on both sides of heel of neck. I also got a picture next to a 100% 1964 Orig Finish Body to show you... Dead On!
This is a Strat Body that was made and came from Dan Erlewine. It was Sent to Tom Murphy for 3-tone Sunburst, CORRECT Looking and Nitro Paint and Relic Job by Tom Murphy himself. Look at black light pictures, It shows Glow like ONLY a Nitro Finish can, and will give.
Bottom line is, the body looks like a Real Pre CBS Fender Strat Body. It was made and finished by a pro player. Not Everyone off the Street gets these 2 famous maker, repair guy, and Tom himself re finishing this.
The body is 35+ years old now. You need Old Wood, Old Nitro Finish to get to "Old School Bell Tone"!

1962 Relic Custom Shop Fender Strat Neck Unplayed New
I had 4 NEW Custom Shop Necks in my shop, from me parting a New Custom Shop Stratocaster.. All 4 had painted Headstock (Face) only. I had All 4 Pro removed of color on headstock,shot in thin Nitro..to look as most PRE CBS Fender Strat Necks I put on $125 each headstock decal out of MY STASH.. The Best Decal there is out there..
So New never played perfect necks!

Real PRE CBS Pickup Assembly Screws
Real 1964 Output Jack
Assembly came a WELL Played 1968 White Maple Cap Strat, that was refinished in Natural. Fancy Caps electronics in there. All pickups read high 8k's. But are away from the strings (low) so not to sound to metal loud. The pick guard I don't know, but 30+ years old cool looking. All the screws do not line up to body, as not a Fender Guard. So screw holes will need to be put in body. Play the dam Strat stop worrying about extra screw holes*****
It will come in a Vintage Hard Shell Case.. (I don't know who made it, buts its not a Fender, or new)
I don't know about you. But the different things, thinking outside the box are the Tone rockets.. that mean something and just seem to bond with you. I never took a Strat off the wall at a music store that was Brand New and came off a green assembly line, that I connect to.. It's the way it is, and always will be..
