1982 Fender '57 Reissue Fullerton Stratocaster 1957 Olympic White RED BOBBIN PICKUPS Very Early RI!
Here is a very early example of what Fender was doing in 1982 — a Fullerton-era ’57 Reissue Stratocaster in custom color Olympic White.
This one has all the early Fullerton features, including three red bobbin pickups, a May 1982 neck date, 6th week of ’82 pot codes, and the extended body routes from the early production period. Interestingly, it also has an older-style tremolo (die-cast zinc vs. two-point), which we believe to be original, though worth noting as it’s not typical.
The guitar appears to be 100% original besides a professional refret, which is a major plus for playability.
Condition is very good plus, with light dings, scratches, some fingerboard wear, and some stand rash on the back sides. Still very presentable and a great player.
The Details
- Condition: Very Good Plus
- Originality: Pro refret, otherwise original
- Finish: Olympic White (Custom Color)
- Notes: Early Fullerton features throughout
Playability & Sound
This one plays exceptionally well, likely thanks to the refret, and has a really nice Strat tone — clear, chimey, and responsive.
