Fender American Original ‘50s Stratocaster Aztec Gold Electric Guitar
NEW - When Fender released the Stratocaster in 1954, they didn’t set out to create a classic—but they did. The Stratocaster’s sleek style, articulate sound and plethora of innovations redefined electric guitar and opened up a brave new world of musical possibilities. The American Original ‘50s Stratocaster maintains Fender’s legendary original-era style and ground-breaking tone, while adding modern feel and pickup switching.
The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only lets the body breathe with its true tonal character, it also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way. From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of hardware is just like the original. American Original instruments feature specially voiced pickups crafted to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years.
The thick “Soft V”-shaped neck slightly smooths the sharpness of a “V” profile, rounding it out so it’s more comfortable for rhythm and lead playing. This 9.5”-radius fingerboard is slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25” radius, providing a comfortable fret-hand feel. Vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out. Original-era fans can rest assured every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals.
Includes free shipping and free expert guitar setup!
