Celebrate 70 years of Fender's iconic Stratocaster with this meticulously crafted, limited-edition guitar that captures the essence of the 1954 original.
The Fender Guitar Center Limited-Edition 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster NOS electric guitar is a tribute to the instrument that revolutionized music. This meticulously crafted guitar faithfully recreates the features and feel of the legendary 1954 Stratocaster, from its contoured ash body and quartersawn maple neck to its handwound pickups and vintage-style hardware. With a classic two-color sunburst finish and a "new old stock" (NOS) aesthetic, this limited-edition Stratocaster is a true collector's item and a dream for any guitarist seeking vintage Fender tone and feel.
Quartersawn Maple Neck and Fingerboard
The 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster features a quartersawn maple neck and fingerboard, chosen for its exceptional stability and resonance. This premium wood contributes to the guitar's clear, articulate tone and long sustain. The neck profile is a comfortable C shape, reminiscent of the original 1954 Stratocasters, offering a familiar feel for vintage enthusiasts.
Handwound 1954 Single-Coil Pickups
This limited-edition Stratocaster is equipped with a trio of handwound single-coil pickups meticulously crafted to replicate the iconic "bell-like" tone of the original 1954 models. These pickups deliver the sparkling highs, punchy mids, and warm lows that define the Stratocaster sound, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles.
Vintage-Style Hardware
The 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster features vintage-style hardware that enhances both its aesthetic and performance. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo allows for expressive vibrato and pitch bending, while the Kluson Deluxe tuning machines provide smooth and precise tuning adjustments. The single-ply white pickguard and white plastic control knobs complete the classic Stratocaster look.
New Old Stock (NOS) Finish
This limited-edition Stratocaster boasts a stunning "new old stock" (NOS) finish that captures the look and feel of a pristine vintage instrument. The two-color sunburst finish is meticulously applied and buffed to a high gloss, showcasing the beauty of the ash body. The NOS treatment gives this guitar the appearance of a time capsule, as if it had been perfectly preserved since 1954.
