Fender celebrates the 70th anniversary of their iconic Stratocaster.
Hooray for Fender and hooray for early birds, because you can be the first one to get your hands on a Custom Shop guitar from the 2024 collection; we have a huge and unique collection on stock and available way ahead of estimated delivery!
2024 marks the platinum anniversary of the Stratocaster, that’s seven decades of the world’s greatest electric guitar. To mark this auspicious milestone, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Stratocaster. Its two-piece select alder body delivers lively resonance and well-balanced tone and is decked out in gold hardware, an NOS lacquer finish in striking Bright Sapphire Metallic, and distinctively elevated features from the golden era of the Stratocaster.
The one-piece 4A flame maple neck has a big, comfortable 10/’56 Soft “V” profile, topped by a 9.5”-radius fingerboard with 21 gold Medium Vintage (47095) frets, abalone dot markers and a bone nut. Pure sonic Strat magic comes from three Custom Shop hand-wound Fat ’50s Stratocaster pickups with gold magnets, delivering crisp highs and well-balanced mids and lows. Vintage Modified #2 wiring includes five-way pickup switching and the Tone-Saver bleed circuit, which eliminates tone loss when volume is turned down.
Other premium features include an 11-hole single-ply parchment pickguard, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners, wing string tree, special 70th Anniversary Stratocaster® neck plate, deluxe embroidered hardshell case, and certificate of authenticity.
