This 1964 L Series Stratocaster is a very special guitar. As far as vintage L Series Stratocasters go, this is one of the most pristine examples you are likely to find.
The owner, who is a member of a well-known pioneering Australian rock and roll band, purchased this guitar in 1985 to match near identical one he has been playing since 1968. This guitar has spent nearly the last 37 years in its case. Truly a museum grade piece of rock and roll history.
