Sell Your 1957 Fender Mary Kaye Stratocaster White Electric Guitar

The Fender Stratocaster guitar was designed between 1952 and 1954 and was first available for sale in 1954. The guitar shape, as well as the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Telecaster, is one of the most mimicked shapes of electric guitars. The first customized Fender Stratocaster produced is nicknamed the “Mary Kaye” after the Las Vegas performer also known as the “First Lady of Rock and Roll” posed and performed with one in 1956. Although she only briefly played the guitar, the nickname stuck and the blonde-colored still has a cult following today.
