Specs: Small headstock (normally with soft edges), two-tone sunburst finish, one piece maple neck with skunk stripe and 7.25" fingerboard radius, 4-bolt neck attachment with serial number (very early instruments have the serial number on the tremolo cover), "bakelite" pickup covers and control knobs, tremolo cover has round string holes, round string tree, 8-screw single layer white vinyl pickguard, "spaghetti"-style headstock logo decal, two-piece tremolo with adjustable saddles stamped with "Fender Pat Pending", Kluson tuners with no name on them.

Notes:
First year of the Fender Stratocaster. Expect some variation in contours due to hand finishing. Early models will have slightly different volume/control knobs called "tallboys" (taller and thinner than the subsequent "bakelite" knobs).
