1961 Blonde Stratocaster in original Blond finish over Ash body!

This 1961 Fender Stratocaster has survived in it original custom ordered Blond finish over Ash body! I drove to Lake Charles, Louisiana to meet the son of the owner of this "61 Blond (no "e" in the catalog in '61) since about 1991. It's a spectacular playing with original pickups, coils, electronics parts, and frets in nice playing condition!

Nice to hear intelligent comment re responsiveness of tremolo. This is a big thing and only really happens when everything is just right… string tension balanced with springs , fulcrum on bridge screws, no slack in the arm threads , it’s a setup that allows a Strat to shine.

100% agree.

[@ebeep]

Absolutely my dream guitar in every respect.

[@patrickfiore7067]

Excellent presentation, words, and demo! This is how it should be done

[@Loganblubaugh]

another great video! this strat has all the right vibe!

[@Subropontes]

I’ve been drooling over that Embassy on your wall for a while.

[@truevintageguitar]

Hey thanks! It's such a great guitar that I can't bring myself to sell it. I don't have enough basses at the moment.

[@Subropontes]

@@truevintageguitar and with the way the prices are going up on the old Epiphones it’s probably worth it holding on to it for a little longer.

[@numb41]

John, you’re a great player on your own! You should give that thing a rip

[@boco1951]

That looks great

[@michaelshearer3559]

Absolutely stunning! Can't believe it hasn't sold in the first hour. LOL

[@bryancollins6796]

Vibe! This guitar has it and the tone.

[@kylecravens6501]

Doesn't get much better than a 61 Strat in an original custom color!

[@stephanep7354]

That's a great sounding strat, so chimey!! Evidently inspired the player!

[@RiggsTaylor]

Can confirm - really inspired me! One of the coolest strats he's had!

[@bushin28]

Incredible player as well btw - what's the name of the song?

[@RiggsTaylor]

Thanks man! Not a song - just some of my improvisation!
