The frets are tall and show light wear. This Stratocaster is being dated to 1959 based on the codes on the tone pots, the serial number, the lack of pencil mark on the neck(this practice was halted for a period of time in 1959), and the \"59\" located in the back tremolo cavity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase Details: \u003c\/b\u003eNon-original modern Fender Custom hardshell case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838583136575,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G93239753","price":5999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-stratocaster-sunburst-1959-fender-stratocaster-sunburst-1959-u6867429104-1132249056.jpg?v=1782094397","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/fender-stratocaster-sunburst-1959-2229022","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
