Nash guitars started in 2003 according to their website. I think this is perhaps an early example of their work but I can not be sure. This guitar has features and the look of an early Stratocaster from 1955 or 1956. The paint color and neck and body dimensions seem to be influenced by the Fender Stratocasters of that time period. The original owner has had this a long time but does not remember what year he bought it.
