For musicians yearning for the quintessential vintage Fender essence, the Custom Shop Limited Edition 70th Anniversary model stands out, faithfully reproducing original-era specifications with painstaking attention to detail, breathing new life into Fender's legacy.
Crafted with a 2-piece Select Ash body featuring an offset seam on the treble side, mirroring the original '54 Strats, this guitar flaunts a nitrocellulose lacquer finish in a stunning Wide Fade 2-Tone Sunburst, offering an authentic vintage allure. Its 1-piece Quartersawn Maple neck embodies a unique 70th Anniversary '54 Strat profile, delivering an authentic playing experience. The guitar combines modernity with tradition, boasting a 7.25 to 9.5-inch compound radius and Medium Vintage frets while preserving vintage charm.
With its the Journeyman Relic finish, this model echoes the spirit of a guitar that has seen use since 1954 but has been well-cared-for. The finish exhibits wear and tear such as checking, an aged appearance, and minor nicks and dents, enhancing its character. The neck wear contributes to an inviting playability. The Journeyman Relic finish has gained immense popularity within the Custom Shop due to its authentic vibes.
The Custom Shop Hand-Wound '54 Strat Pickups faithfully reproduce the original Strat's distinctive tones, meticulously crafted to capture its essence. Vintage '54 Strat Wiring, featuring a wax paper cap and a 5-way switch, further augments this guitar's sonic capabilities.
Adhering to the 1954 Strat's authentic features, this model includes a period-correct single-ply white pickguard and backplate, the latter engraved with serial numbers, replicating the original aesthetics. The '54 Strat ABS white pickup covers and knobs are meticulously recreated, a significant detail revered in anniversary models. Even the headstock's contours replicate the 1954 Strat's original design. The guitar also features period-correct tuners, bridge, and a special 70th Anniversary neck plate.
This Limited Edition model arrives with an embroidered case, special case candy, and a Certificate of Authenticity.
While every Fender Custom Shop guitar is exceptional, the 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster transcends that realm—it's a piece of musical history.
