The top of the line American Original series boasts the highest build quality, specs and sound of any Fender production guitar. What you're getting here are specific features associated with a decade of Fender history.
The most popular guitar of all time. The '50s Strat is simple, sleek and serves up the very best in vintage tone. Grab yourself this limited edition White Blonde model while you can!
Construction
In the build department, the '50s Strat deviates very little from the classic formula. It's made of a nitro lacquered ash body with a maple neck and fingerboard packing 21 tall frets.
With a soft “V” shape neck and 9.5-inch radius fretboard, the Strat's playability is that which you know and love. The classic tremolo bridge provides further characterful options to your playing.
Sound
The famous trio of Pure Vintage '59 single coils are lively, cutting and dynamic. They're perfectly suited to cleans, edge-of-breakup and hotter driven tones. And thanks to the five position switch, there are plenty of voicings to discover.
