FENDER Standard Stratocaster Marble Finish "Bowling Ball Strat" Description

- similar to the Standard Stratocaster (CBS Mfg. 1983-84), except has a streaking blue, yellow, or red finish that resembles a bowling ball, mfg. 1984 only.

This unique finish was the result of dipping the white primer coated bodies into an oil-based finish that floated on water. After dipping, the guitar received a top coat of polyurethane. Fender produced three dominant colors: Red finish that had black and white swirled in (sometimes resulting in gray areas as well), Blue finish that was mixed with yellow and black, and Gold finish that was combined with white and silver. According to the original purchase order, 250 Stratocasters were ordered (108 in Red, 105 in Blue, and 37 in Gold). These guitars were painted by Anthony Nasiatka in Floral Park, NY. (Information courtesy Anthony Nasiatka with help from Michael F. McCarthy).
