Product Description
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. This guitar has been lovingly crafted by Fender Masterbuilder Andy Hicks.
Key Features
- Hand-Selected Tonewoods - Built with the most premium hand-selected tonewoods, this guitar has been expertly built to bring out the best of the world-renowned Stratocaster.
- Soft "V" Shape Neck - The soft "V" neck profile is based off of the Strat neck from July 1954. This gives a more ergonomic feel, as the neck profile follows the natural curvature of the hand, especially for chords and lead work.
- Included Luxury Hardcase - This comemmorative Stratocaster comes with a deluxe hardshell case, strap & certificate of authenticity.
Highest Grade Materials
Brought to life by Fender's 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.
Classic Stratocaster Hardware
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.
Comemmorative Serial-Numbered Backplate & Certificate of Authenticity
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.
Fender Masterbuilder Andy Hicks
When it comes to guitars, Andy incorporates his two passions: playing and building guitars. He firmly believes that these two passions are deeply connected, uniting Andy’s core approach to creating guitars.
“Bridging the gap between builder and player, listening to their desires and implementing them into my builds is incredibly rewarding, and to create such guitars in the Fender Custom Shop, nothing could be better." - Andy Hicks
