Product Description

Squier celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2022, and to mark the occasion, they've released their "finest and most stunning models to date!" Taking five classic Fender shapes to new heights, Squier's new Gold Edition guitars and basses boast exquisite, upscale features that include anodized pickguards, bound Indian Laurel fingerboards, block inlays, gold-plated hardware appointments and engraved anniversary neck plates. Classy!

The 40th Anniversary Stratocaster Gold Edition is a must-have for the Squier fanatic. It provides the legendary versatility that all Strats are adored for, courtesy of its trio of Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups, and is simply poised and ready for the spotlight with its elegant aesthetics! A few player-friendly refinements boost the appeal of this commemorative model too, such as its slim and comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile, 9.5"-radius fingerboard and 6-saddle synchronized tremolo.
