Fender Original Series Stratocaster Guitars

The Fender Stratocaster is one of the first mass-produced electric guitars dating back to 1954. Fender’s Original series Strats channel the spirit of their most popular models from the ‘50s and ‘60s.  

The ‘50s models are based on some of the earliest Strats in existence. This means beautiful original-era styling and unmistakably rich tones thanks to wax potted Pure Vintage '59 pickups. Fender have also opted for a soft-V neck profile that’s extra thick for grip, plus vintage tall frets and 6-point vintage trem systems.

For the ‘60s models, the design was tweaked to include a C-shape neck profile and mint-green pickguards. One of the most notable appointments, however, is the use of Rosewood for the fretboards. This offers extra warmth and smoothness, particularly in higher frequencies.

All of the Original Strats come with Nitro-Cellulose finishes, allowing the wood to breathe in a different way. This provides classic resonance and a great aging effect; it’ll change in terms of both looks and sound as it gets older, and many prefer the sound and appearance of an aged Nitro-finished guitar.
