FENDER Stratocaster "Mary Kaye" Description
- similar to the Stratocaster (Pre CBS Mfg. 1954-59), except has gold hardware and a Blonde finish, mfg. 1956-58.
Fender offered a "deluxe" version of the Stratocaster with 14 karat gold-plated parts and Blonde (a creamy off-white) finish. This model is unofficially nicknamed the "Mary Kaye" model, due to entertainer Mary Kaye posing with the deluxe model in the 1957 catalog supplement.
