With serial number V006891, the neck cavity is stamped \"Gonzalez,\" the neck stamped “J Torres” and pencil date of 12‑3‑83, this player is the real deal, full of old school Fender history. It’s a “true relic,” featuring beautiful dings, finish checking, and chips from decades of life on the road, there is also a strap button hole in the bottom horn possibly someone played this guitar left handed for a time, under the pickguard there is an additional hole from someone installing a 57 style pickguard at some point. At 7.8 lbs, it’s a featherlight Strat—noticeably lighter than most of its era—making it as comfortable on stage as it is thrilling to hold. It plays beautifully: low, buzzing‑free action and frets with plenty of life left, ensuring smooth performance. If tone is king, this one wears the crown: vintage black‑bottom pickups deliver exceptionally sweet Strat definition and sparkle. A brass nut has been installed (original nut included), the original tremolo arm, 1984 hang‑tag, and the Fullerton tweed case with iconic orange interior. All original, this LPB Fullerton AVRI is the find every collector and player dreams of.

Factory‑ordered finishes like Lake Placid Blue were especially rare—most AVRIs came in sunburst or standard colors—making this one a standout in any collection. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1863\"\u003eFeatherlight Feel, Heavyweight Tone\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"2175\"\u003eWeighing in at just 7.8 lbs, this Strat is exceptionally lightweight and resonant—especially compared to the typically heavier Fullerton AVRIs of the era which can be north of 8lbs.
