The Story

1956 Roasted Ash Stratocaster NOS Electric Guitar Mary Kaye Blonde

This is one beautiful Strat - a '56 with a clean NOS Mary Kaye Blonde finish over a roasted ash body, which is transparent enough to let all of the grain in the ash show through. The guitar is loaded with three handwound ‘50s Strat pickups for a crystal clear Strat quack and chime, and topped off with gold hardware, just like any Mary Kaye style finish should!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Strap, Cable, Polish Cloth, Paperwork
