One of the most sought after vintage guitars is the Fender Stratocaster Pre-CBS. Fender Strats are one of the most popular electric guitars ever. The early models, from 1954 to 1965, are known as the "pre-CBS" models, since CBS Broadcaster Company bought the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation in January 1965. When CBS purchased Fender, the "pre-CBS" Stratocasters became quite rare and likewise expensive since they are perceived to be made of a higher quality when compared with the post-CBS models. Recently, some pre-CBS strats have sold more than $175,000.
