Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Masterbuilt 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic

Please note - This Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Fender Masterbuilt Custom Shop Deluxe Closet Classic Stratocaster is limited to 70 pieces globally! Masterbuilders involved in the run include Andy Hicks, David Brown, Austin MacNutt, Dennis Galuszka and Kyle McMillin. These highly collectable guitars will be assigned at random and we have no knowledge or control over which builder we will be assigned.

To celebrate 70 years of the Stratocaster - the platinum anniversary of the world’s greatest electric guitar—the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition Masterbuilt 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster.

Brought to life by our world-renowned Masterbuilders, its two-piece select ash body (with offset seam on the treble side) resonates with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, and wears a gorgeous Wide Fade Two-Color Sunburst Deluxe Closet Classic lacquer finish. The stunning one-piece 5A Flame maple neck is fashioned with a special 70th anniversary Soft “V” profile based on an incredible Strat neck from July 1954. This is topped with vintage compound-radius fingerboard (7.25” to 9.5”), 21 medium vintage (47095) frets and a 1.625” bone nut. A trio of Custom Shop Hand-Wound ’54 Strat pickups deliver that classic Strat tone 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 synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners, disc string tree, special 70th Anniversary Stratocaster neck plate, deluxe embroidered hardshell case, special “case candy” kit and certificate of authenticity.
