Fender® celebrates the diamond anniversary of the world's greatest electric guitar with the limited-edition 60th Anniversary American Vintage 1954 Stratocaster. This special guitar honors the very first Stratocaster model as if it were an "exciting new instrument" with a sound "as new and different as tomorrow," and it is built with a broad selection of features, period details and accessories.
The two-piece ash body has a side seam and a flash-coat lacquer finish (a very thin coat) in the original two-color Sunburst. The one-piece maple neck has a comfortable 1954 profile and the date just below the truss rod adjustment nut, a 7.25" radius on a fretboard with rounded edges, and 21 vintage frets. Three new 1954 single-coil Stratocaster pickups deliver a sound true to the original era, with a five-position selector complemented by a three-position switch for original wiring. The guitar also features a white single-ply pickguard, white polystyrene control knobs, bone nut and round string tree, an American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge with six "patent pending" saddles, and nickel-chrome hardware.
Special extras and accessories include a vintage tweed case with center compartment, polishing cloth, cable, black leather strap and bridge cover; two extra tremolo springs, and a reproduction of all the 1954 documentation. Available during 2014 only in a limited edition of 1,954 guitars, the first fifty-four of which feature an engraved 60th anniversary commemorative plate with the inscription "1st of 54" and a certificate.
Fender's 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster will also be available only in 2014, and is a magnificent American-made creation that celebrates six decades of the world's greatest electric guitar. Among other features are an ash body with a comfortably contoured heel, three specially designed 1954 single-coil Strat® pickups, a compound-radius fretboard, gold hardware, an engraved plate, a headstock pin, and a beautiful glossy 2-Color Sunburst finish.
Other important features include a maple neck with a modern "C" profile and satin finish, a maple fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and black pearloid inlays, the Micro-Tilt™ neck adjustment mechanism, five-position pickup switching and a "no-load" tone control for the middle and bridge pickups, a vintage-style two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with stamped steel saddles, and a deluxe tuning-machine set with white pearloid buttons.
