Key Features

  • Soft “V” Neck Profile – This shape neck is based on the incredible Strat neck shape from July 1954.
  • Fender Custom Shop Weathering – Expertly given the “light weathering” treatment to give an authentic 1954 Strat feel!

Tonewoods

The body is made from hand-selected, highest grade Ash, and has an offset seam on the treble side. This Tonewood resonates with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows.

Finished in a gorgeous Wide Fade Two-Colour Sunburst lacquer, visually this guitar represents the level of craftsmanship Fender Custom Shop is known for Worldwide.

Its one-piece quartersawn Maple neck is fashioned with a special 70th anniversary Soft “V” profile based on an incredible Strat neck from July 1954.

Custom Shop Treatment

This guitar has been given a number of Custom Shop treatments with varying degrees of wear, including some authentic aging on the bridge, expert level fretwear on the lower frets, and a special kind of aging on the hardware which gives this guitar that look and feel of a true 1954 Stratocaster.

Pickups

Three Custom Shop hand-wound ’54 Strat pickups deliver that classic Strat voice with clear, bell-like highs, routed through vintage '54 Strat wiring with wax paper cap and five-way switching.

Other premium features and authentic first-year Strat appointments include a single-ply white pickguard and serial-number back plate, 1954-style ABS white pickup covers and control knobs, Custom Shop vintage synchronised tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners, disc string tree and given a special 70th Anniversary Stratocaster neck plate to celebrate.
