Back up for grabs! This beautiful guitar has just been re-listed following a cancelled customer layby and is now reduced to sell. A great opportunity to pick up a quality guitar at a seriously sharp price — once it’s gone, it’s gone! 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 ’54 Stratocaster®. Its two-piece select ash body resonates with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, clad in a ravishing Closet Classic lacquer finish in Wide Fade Two-Color Sunburst, Aged White Blonde, Aged Black and Super-Faded Aged Surf Green, and featuring slightly oxidized Closet Classic hardware for an authentically worn-in look. Its one-piece quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a special 70th anniversary Soft “V” profile based on an incredible Strat® neck from July 1954, topped by a 9.5”-radius fingerboard with 21 narrow tall (6105) frets and a 1.625” bone nut. Three Custom Shop hand-wound Fat ’50s Strat® pickups produce crisp highs and well-balanced mids and lows, using Fat ’50s Strat wiring and five-way switching. Other premium features and authentic first-year Strat® appointments include a single-ply white pickguard, 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, strap and certificate of authenticity.
