1953 Strat. This is the very first production Fender Strat ever made. Gruhn's is showing it marked as "SOLD". They were asking $250,000

If that is original condition it is amazing!
If it has been redone it is still pretty amazing. |

I understood David Gilmour had one of the really early ones. I think Gilmour's Strat is serial number 0001 on the neck plate. The very first Strats started with serial number 0100 on the back plate, then a few months later Fender switched the serial number to the neck plate and started with serial number 0001. |

What a timeless design. That looks no different than a modern version.

I wonder who bought it. If he doesn't like the color, you can hit with some Krylon. Then he's all set to play Smoke on the Water. |
