Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer - prized for its natural tonal qualities and distinct aging patterns - then hand-distressed for an authentically broken-in look, this Strat® delivers the bell-like tone and playing comfort you'd expect from a great vintage guitar.
For modern Fender tone the trio of single-coil Stratocaster pickups were re-voiced, kicking things up a bit by increasing the output. Crisp and articulate, they have the power you need for any style of music. The updated Thick Soft "V"-shaped neck has a 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style, six-point synchronized tremolo and vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability.
