Probably the Finest 1966 Candy Apple Red Stratocaster Extant.

This absolutely mint Candy Apple Red Stratocaster weighs 8.40 lbs. and has a nut width of just under 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Solid alder body, contoured on back and lower bass bout, one-piece maple neck, and veneer rosewood fretboard with 21 frets and pearloid dot position markers. Large headstock with 'Transition' logo. Individual 'double-line' Kluson Deluxe tuners with oval metal buttons. Four-bolt neck plate with serial number between the top two screws. Three single-coil light grey bottom pickups with staggered polepieces and nicely matched outputs of 6.20k, 6.32k, and 6.03k. Three-layer plastic pickguard with eleven screws and full-size aluminium 'shield' on the underside. Fender "Synchronized Tremolo" combined bridge/tailpiece. The neck is stamped "13 OCT 66 B". There is one tiny chip (the size of a matchhead) on the on the lower edge of the treble bout. With this miniscule triviality said, this guitar is so mint - it is unbelievable - a 9.50 rating does not do this guitar justice! Original Fender black hardshell case with black leather ends and dark orange plush lining (8.75).
