Up for your consideration and for the first time on the market is a wonderful 1958 Stratocaster, made in June of that year. Purchased new on July 31, 1958 and owned by one owner since it left Fullerton.  Guitar is in wonderful condition and shows normal, non-abusive play wear. This was purchased from the original owner by me, and includes full provenance; a handwritten letter from him, 1957/1958 Fender Catalog, Hang tags, instructions, strap, cord, black and white photos of him with the guitar, an early 60's original show poster and wonderful OHSC.  There's has been absolutely zero changes, or modifications to this guitar since it left the Fullerton factory in 1958. Truly a collectors piece and easily one of the most complete Fender's on the market sure to make the next owner more than happy to own it.  Realistic offers considered. If you have an offer or just a question, feel free to call at 918-724-7001. We love to trade!
*NEW INFO BELOW* This wonderful Stratocaster was also used on many occasions by the late, great Tommy Allsup who played with Buddy Holly on the fateful 1959 Winter Dance Party tour, and who infamously flipped the coin (And lost) with Ritchie Valens for a seat on the Beechcraft Bonanza after their show at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, IA bound for Fargo, ND. Photos of Tommy playing this guitar will be included. He was extremely fond of this guitar as it was nearly identical to the 58's he and Buddy used from 1958 onward.
