Wino the year 1959 doesn't have as much significance for Fender as it does Gibson does it???

unless your a SRV wannabe :laugh2:

Fender brought rosewood fingerboards to the production line-up in 1959-
threatening . . . . . . . to Gibson management in 1959.

'59's a magic year in Fender world as well, amp wise there's the Bassman for starters I don't know about the SRV thing, I thought his was a '62? Or, maybe just the neck was a '62?? ... not sure.

I do know this, a lot of the '59 Strats I've played and owned were absolutely killer instruments. I had a blond one, ash body, with an early slab board, single ply guard, and that thing just KILLED with tone.

Just looked at the pics in the auction. Is that Fullerplast under the paint??:hmm Rather curious the claw was unsoldered and then re-attached.

I used to have a killer mid-summer '59 slabboard with a rare 10-screw single-ply white pickguard. "Never should have sold that..." :dang

I used to have a 2-color '61 slab...but I don't care for RW fingerboards on Fenders, so....
