If you want the guitar you're going to have to at least make an offer. Don't sit and watch as we all do and cry once its sold.
Fender is, after all, a business, and a business which was sold to CBS in 1965 which resulted in significant cuts to quality that begin to appear after the conclusion of the 1963 to late 1965 L-series number plates. Indeed, some Fender models in this early transition period held up in terms of quality until around mid 1966, but sadly fall off the collectible scale dramatically afterwards, as does their price tag. It was not until 1982 that Fender went back to basics and started creating instruments at the old Fullerton plant where quality, investment grade instruments once again began to exist. These instruments are the 1982 to 1984 Fullerton models. Sadly, the Fullerton plant has now gone due to a fire. The result was a move to the now Corona plant, where Fender instruments become more mass produced, losing some of the fine qualities that made Fender what they were originally in the 50's and early 60's.
Due to recent changes with CITES from 2/1/2017 I can not ship a musical instrument containing rosewood out of the European union without a permit. Until I obtain such a permit (and it should be noted that the buyer also needs a permit to import rosewood) my sales are for UK or EU ebayer's only.
I will post to the UK ans EU only, buyer pays everything fully insured. The pound is weak so its a good time for Europe and America to buy from the UK.
Please ask for an accurate shipping cost. I only use TNT for shipping, fully insured.
Cash on collection, personal cheque or bank transfer are my preferred payment options.
If you have any questions please drop me a message if you require additional information or photographs.

I've attached a few photos under the UV black light. If you don't know, once nitro finish is about 25 plus years old it starts to glow green under UV black light. This can be seen clearly all over the body and neck of the strat. There is no touch up or funny business to be seen.
