July 1955 Stratocaster.

This one has a four digit serial number, round string tree, one HUGE neck, and "Mary 7-20-55" on masking tape in the control cavity.

All original except for frets and pickup covers.The original Bakelite covers were disintegrating, so I put 'em away in the case.

The best sounding Strat I've ever played!
