To celebrate 70 years of the Stratocaster, Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster. Its two-piece select ash body (with offset seam on the treble side) resonates with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, and wears a gorgeous Wide Fade Two-Color Sunburst lacquer finish in Time Capsule.
Its one-piece quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a special 70th anniversary Soft “V” profile based on an incredible neck from July 1954. This is topped with vintage compound-radius fingerboard (7.25” to 9.5”) with 21 medium vintage (47095) frets and a 1.625” bone nut. Three Custom Shop hand-wound ’54 Strat pickups deliver that classic Strat voice with clear, bell-like highs, routed through vintage '54 wiring with wax paper cap and five-way switching.
Other premium features and authentic first-year appointments include a single-ply white pickguard and serial-number back plate, 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, special “case candy” kit and certificate of authenticity. • MFSKU 9236091140 • UPC 717669959340
