FENDER 60TH ANNIVERSARY STRATOCASTER COMMEMORATIVE Guitar World AUSTRALIA

60TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE STRATOCASTER

Celebrate the diamond anniversary of the world's greatest electric guitar with the 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster and 60th Anniversary Classic Player '50s Stratocaster. Both are contemporary takes on the original-era Stratocaster, updated with modern features and appointments that combine the best of the past with the best of today.

THE STRATOCASTER

When many people think of an electric guitar, this is the one that leaps to mind. The Stratocaster is an archetypal instrument - among the world's most popular guitars and an elegantly versatile creation that is both a musical and cultural touchstone. At its heart, though, the Stratocaster remains a fantastic tool - with unmistakable sound and timeless design that have made it the first choice among players worldwide, many of whom have used it to create much of the most important music of our time.

HISTORY

No sooner had Fender revolutionized music with the Telecaster and Precision Bass, in 1954 it introduced what is nearly universally regarded as the archetypal electric guitar; the Stratocaster. Perennially sleek, stylish, smooth playing and tonally versatile, it has transcended its role as a musical tool to become nothing short of a cultural icon. There is simply nothing that sings, screams, whispers, moans, roars, rocks and rolls like a Stratocaster!

A celebration of popular features and commemorative details.

Available in 2014 only, Fenders 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster is a beautifully crafted U.S.-made instrument that celebrates six decades of the worlds greatest electric guitar. Fine features and appointments include an ash body with a comfortably contoured heel, three special-design 1954 single-coil Strat pickups, a compound-radius fingerboard, gold hardware, custom-engraved neck plate and headstock ingot, and a beautiful 2-Color Sunburst gloss finish.

Other premium features include a maple neck with modern "C" profile and satin finish, maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and black pearloid inlays, Micro-Tilt neck adjustment mechanism, five-way pickup switching and no-load tone control for middle and bridge pickups, two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with vintage-style stamped steel saddles, and deluxe tuners with white pearloid buttons. Includes vintage-style tweed case with embroidered 60th anniversary logo, strap and strap locks, cable, polishing cloth and special commemorative book.
