A 1969 Olympic White Stratocaster, similar to Jimi Hendrix's model commands a substantial premium with values ranging from $15,000 to $25,000.
"CBS Mfg." notation refers to the sale of Fender Electric Instruments Company to the CBS Broadcasting Co. in January, 1965. In 1967, a maple fingerboard that was glued onto the maple neck became optional. Between 1965 and 1967, a few models featured bound fingerboards. In 1969, a one piece maple neck/fingerboard was reintroduced. In 1967, Fender chrome-plated tuning keys (F stamped) replaced the original nickel-plated Kluson tuners.
