THE INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION.
A beautiful collection of all 9 colour's from the collection, you can find the odd one here or there but to have the whole collection is a rarity. Neck dates are all S9 but as we all know these are basically all from 1980/1. Fender brought these out as a special and were offered to dealers in batches which some dealers but not all took up. Now in the 21st century 70's and 80's Strat's values are all shooting up comparing with new prices etc so when looking at investment wise nearly 40 years old vintage Strat's plus custom colouring makes this a great choice for those wishing to collect a special collection indeed.

40TH
ANNIVERSARY STRATOCASTER
1994
Just in-
This is the 40th Anniversary Stratocaster, at the time there were two anniversary Strat's made, one was the '54 strat' and the other is this one. As can be seen in the pics it's in great condition, although there have been a couple of marks in the black areas touched up, so we would say this is in VGC. although these marks are very hard to see. This one is in the very nice sunburst finish with the creme style pickguard. Has the standard 2 volume and tone plus a 5 way switch. Neck is maple with black dot inlays. Note that on the back of the neck there is a slight black mark, this is in the maple, not an added mark. Tuners are original of course and on the headstock there is also the 40th Anniversary logo.
The case is the shaped model which a lot of players do love this shaped case. It has been through our luthiers hands and now is setup beautifully and plays like a dream. With a new American strat in Australia around the 3k mark, we think this is very well priced. A great Strat for sure.

BLUE FLORAL
MIJ
TELECASTER
A nice Fender telecaster, in the blue floral finish, made in Japan circa 1986, maple fretboard, 2 x single coil pickups, pickups have been replaced with the usa. 52 tele style ones as have the pot's and cap. Pickguard is the see thru type, black dot inlays, overall a great playing guitar. With Japanese vintage guitar prices on the way up for these 70's and 80's guitars, this is priced well, so if your in the market for a Tele from the 80's at a great price this is the one to get. Comes with a non original hard case, exc +++ condition

PEARL WHITE
FACTORY REFINISH
ANNIVERSARY
EDITION
A very cool factory finish Anniversary Stratocaster from 1979, in the pics you can see the original colour, the Pearl White which now has faded to a beautiful yellowish / creme colour. In my professional opinion yes a factory finish. The guitar has been hanging in someones house for many many years and now it's in our care till it has a new home. A great playing guitar, first of the 4 bolt neck's in 79, black dot inlays, black pick guard and pickup covers, a real looker. It also has it's original case. The tremelo arm and the backplate are not original to this guitar and appear to be aftermarket, but they do the job. Fretboard is also in excellent condition as are the tuners and frets. A very cool guitar in EXC+ condition.

JAGUAR
The Fender Jaguar, thin skin nitrocellulose finish, in as new condition, custom 'rare' colour with the rarer matching headstock, beautiful. Rosewood fretboard, dot inlays, all the case candy including the page with 'how to use' the pickups and switches. Yes a very nice guitar and basically another under the bed special. Bough many years ago new from the states but now available through us. It's in real nice condition and only has one slight blemish in the finish which you can see in the pics. Overall it's one great guitar and if your chasing a Jaguar with a matching headstock and in a super rare colour this is the one for you. Comes highly recommended by us. In exc++ condition and comes with all the case candy and original case. Sweet.!!

STRATOCASTER
'BLACKIE'
THE Strat's from the 70's are becoming more and more desirable as prices are rising and there being snapped up by players and some collectors. This beautiful example is from 1975, 45 years ago, and comes with some case candy as can be seen in the pics. Overall the finish is in pretty nice condition but does have a few belt buckle marks on the back. This one also has it's original 3 way switch still in position and as such I think sounds fantastic. All electrics as in pickups and pot's are original etc. The fretboard is a great maple board with black dot markers and the skunk stripe. The tuners are all original 'F' as well. So, overall an excellent example of a BLACKIE and very desirable indeed. Highly recommended as prices are just going up and up on these.

CUSTOM SHOP
1969
YEAR: 2000
If your looking for a Fender STRATOCASTER from the CUSTOM SHOP, this is a very nice example of the
1969 Strat. Another fine example of Fender custom shop workers. This one in particular has been used as a recording guitar for a local band here in Perth. Why, well because it sound's so great but alas now it's time to move it on to it's new owner. As can be seen in the pics it comes with all the case candy as put out by Fender. It has the black finish with both the maple fretboard and the large headstock, also the fretboard has black dot markers. A great playing Strat and please note there are some scratches on the back. Overall in EXC condition and comes with it's original custom shop case.

MUSTANG
CIRCA
1966
with slightly modified body shape
Of the many guitars produced by Fender the Mustang was the small bodied electric with just two single coil pickups, two slide switches for those pickups and volume controls etc, very basic but a much. loved guitar played by many legends, these also record well and being quite light you can hang one of these around your neck all night long. This one having dates from 1966 and parts of the same era such as pickups, shielding etc has been assembled from parts such but still is a great player. Ok not 100 % original but definitely a players guitar, finish is 'Daphne blue' but look's more like baby blue and has been hand sanded to give it that age feel, condition is still good, sound very cool, plays well, rosewood fretboard is also excellend condition etc...and comes with a nice hard case...

LEAD 3
BLONDE FINISH
1982
A very underrated guitar by Fender from the very early eighties etc. The Lead 3 featured split coil pickups x two and two 3 way switches so there was quite a varied sound combination you could achieve. It's quite a light guitar so if your small statured or maybe a girl who is looking for something not to heavy but with that vintage vibe this is a great way to go. It has a beautifully aged blonde finish with some marks here and there as would be expected from a guitar nearly 40 yr's old, overall though in great condition and comes with a nice hard case as well...

KINGMAN
CIRCA
1968
The 60's produced many different models including Fender doing some unusual acoustics, among them was the not too popular Kingman, although now still not in the same vain as Gibsons or martins for example, but still 'cool' non the less...here is one from the late 60's (68) we believe, has the Strat style large headstock, a fully bound neck like the jaguars, rosewood fretboard with the large mother of pearl inlays, what you will notice is lot's of crazing/pealing on the back especially, of course doesn't effect playability. Get a genuine vintage acoustic from the 60's with a Fender acoustic pickup.g/cond. original but with a beat up case...
