This vintage Fender Stratocaster is in Perth, Western Australia.
The combination of its single-coil pickups and premium tonewoods delivers the iconic Stratocaster sound that has shaped countless recordings.
The "L-Series" Stratocasters were produced during a period often referred to as Fender's "pre-CBS" era, specifically before the company was sold to CBS in 1965. This era is highly regarded for its consistent quality and the specific construction techniques employed by Fender at the time.
