An iconic electric guitar with vintage style and modern playability.
The 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic limited-edition electric guitar from Fender immerses you in Stratocaster history. With its distressed nitrocellulose lacquer finish and aged parts, this guitar authentically evokes the vintage vibe of a prized '54 Strat. The versatile tone comes from the select ash body and Custom Shop handwound '54 pickups, while the quartersawn maple neck offers smooth, comfortable playability. With the vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, you can add expressive embellishments to your playing. As a limited-edition model celebrating 70 years of the legendary Stratocaster, this guitar lets you own a piece of Fender's rich legacy.
Authentic Vintage Vibe With Distressed Finish and Aged Parts
From its worn finish to its tarnished hardware, this 70th Anniversary Stratocaster is crafted to mirror the look of a well-loved '54 model. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is distressed using Fender's meticulous Relic process to recreate decades of natural wear. The tuners, bridge and other hardware are also aged to match the vintage aesthetic. As you play this guitar, you'll feel transported back to the early days of rock n' roll.
Versatile Tone From Ash Body and Handwound '54 Pickups
The solid ash body and Custom Shop vintage-style pickups give this Stratocaster the archetypal sparkling, versatile tone the model is renowned for. The handwound '54 single-coil pickups are wound to period-correct specs for authentic vintage Strat tone. From glassy cleans to snarling overdrive, this guitar delivers the full range of iconic Fender tones that have shaped countless hit records.
Smooth Playability With Quartersawn Maple Neck
The quartersawn maple neck offers stability and a smooth, comfortable feel during long playing sessions. Its vintage-style frets and bone nut also enhance playability. The C-shaped profile is ideal for chording and soloing across the fingerboard. Combined with the contoured ash body, this Stratocaster plays like a dream whether you're on stage or in the studio.
Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo Bridge
The vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge allows you to add expressive embellishments to your playing. The six-saddle bridge has bent steel saddles for excellent tone transfer and tuning stability. From subtle shimmers to dive bombs, the tremolo lets you incorporate vintage Stratocaster techniques into your music.
