1963 Fender Stratocaster

1963 Fender Stratocaster

Black Magic Vintage is pleased to offer a KILLER 1963 Strat formerly owned by Ryan Ross of Panic at the Disco.

This Strat was used live and on record, an accompanying photo is included with the sale. 

Aside from the cool provenance this Strat is absolutely killer! It has a terrific weight coming in at 7lbs 6oz. A fantastic med neck (one of the many reasons why 63/4 Strats are so coveted) measuring .85 - .97 and is sonically awesome! 

The pickups read 5.95 N 6.32 M & 6.05 B! They are incredibly well balanced and have all of the sparkle and attitude synonymous with Strats of this era. As you can see everything under the hood is perfect, all solders, windings, pots, etc, she's all there.

 

All of the plastics, trem cover, back plate, trem arm, case, everything is accounted for! The frets are perhaps vintage correct replacements or very well kept originals. Either way this guitar plays very well! There are plenty of bumps & bruises on this beast, this 63 was never a case queen.

It shows some touch up or play through at the lower bout and other various spots where the finish has simply worn through. 
There is some evidence of clear overspray on the back of the neck which has mostly been played away though some remains on the back of the headstock with zero repairs preformed. 

In short; this is a super honest 60+ year old battle ax that has been professionally played, toured & recorded with!
