Introduced in 1954, the Stratocaster is a timeless icon and this Fender American Original '50s Stratocaster faithfully preserves Fender's iconic vintage design and pioneering sound, enhanced by updated features with a versatile pickup configurations.

Sometimes we have a sweet guitar here, it sells, and then a couple of years later it reappears again.  That's what this one is.  Sold as a enw guitar in 2022, it went to one of our favorite customers - who has now traded in towards a Custom Shop Strat.  He takes care of all of his gear meticuously, so it's in great shape, almost like new.  That makes this one a great score.

This guitar comes with wax-potted Pure Vintage '59 single-coil Stratocaster pickups which are as period-correct as possible, from the Formvar-coated coil wire to the cloth-covered output wires, fiber bobbins and alnico 5 magnets. The thick "Soft V" neck profile is perfect for chording, while the 9.5"-radius fingerboard enhances playability with a comfortable feel. Other authentic touches include vintage-tall frets, original-era body radii, vintage-style hardware-including a six-point synchronized tremolo bridge. It comes with a lacquer finish that not only lets the wood "breathe" naturally but also ages gracefully.

So if you know want a guitar that brings to life all the things that made the Stratocaster a legend this American Original '50s Stratocaster is a great one.

 

This instrument is in excellent condition and comes with it original hardshell case.  The techs in our shop set it up to play perfectly, and it's ready for its next home.
