Step into the golden era of rock 'n' roll with the Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster. This guitar is a nostalgic nod to the iconic Stratocasters of the '50s, complete with all the vintage details that made the original a legend. The alder body is lightweight and resonant, producing a balanced, full-bodied tone that's perfect for blues, rock, and everything in between.

You'll love the smooth playing feel of the maple neck, shaped into a modern C profile for comfort and speed. The bolt-on neck attachment offers stability and sustain, while the maple fretboard with black dot inlays provides a bright, clear tonality. With 21 medium jumbo frets, you have plenty of room to express yourself.

At the heart of this guitar are the 3 vintage-style '50s Hot Strat single coils, delivering the classic bell-like chime and warmth that's become synonymous with the Stratocaster. The S-1 Switch and 5-way switch give you an array of tonal options, from sparkling cleans to gritty leads.

This guitar is not just about great sound - it's a feast for the eyes too. The Daphne Blue color, single-ply white pickguard, and vintage-style steel saddles stamped with the Fender name all contribute to its retro aesthetic.
