INTERESTINGLY... The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, and twelve string guitars also exist.
Guitars are recognized as one of the primary instruments in blues, country, flamenco, rock music, and many forms of pop. There is also a solo classical instrument. Guitars may be played acoustically, where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated by the hollow body, or they may rely on an amplifier that can electronically manipulate tone. Such electric guitars were introduced in the 20th century and continue to have a profound influence on popular culture.
Traditionally guitars have usually been constructed of combinations of various woods and strung with animal gut, or more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers.

One of the cleanest and earliest custom color Fender Stratocaster known to the world. In this condition and color, the probability of finding another like it is probably null. Without a doubt one of the most collectible stratocasters in the world. So if strats and custom colors are your thing, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. IN 1955 Custom Colors strats were not offered in catalogs, but on a verbal basis or upon special request. During 1954 and 1956, the period before custom colors were advertised, no more than a few handful were made. ( By contrast, they made at least 1500 bursts. a good chunk are very plainly figured or outright plaintops.)
