In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster guitar, the Fender Custom Shop built the Limited Edition 1954 StratÆ. These faithful replications made with the same exacting detail as the original instruments, using many of the same machines and manufacturing methods used 50 years ago. Every deep body contour, pickup magnet and screw is a replica of a 1954 Strat. We even went as far as having pre-CBS FenderÆ employee, Roger Centeno, stamp each tremolo cover plate with the original die. And, yes they do come complete with the round holes!
Each guitar was built by a Custom Shop Master Builder and features a nitro-cellulose lacquered, two-piece ash body with offset glue seam and one-piece ìUî-shape maple neck. Also, this limited release includes three new Custom Shop Vintage 1954 Stratocaster pickups, an original synchronized tremolo with ìAsh Trayî bridge cover, bone nut, special documentation and an original form-fit Brown case.
This Closet Classic finished, 2-Color Sunburst limited release is the only one we have. Youíve waited 50 years for this day and weíve taken every measure to make it worthwhile. |
