Once every ten years the opportunity to snag a piece of history from Fender comes to us all. The "ONE" that started it all! 70 years ago Leo Fender forever changed the face of music and shaped the future into the modern realm. It would be hard to argue that the Stratocaster is most likely the most recored and played guitar of all time.
Limited to 2024 the 70th anniversary 1954 Stratocaster brings all the historic attributes with some modern spins. Featuring a custom anniversary neck carve with 7.25 to 9.5 compound radius. This neck plays and feels like a dream. Off seam Swamp Ash body with custom limited 1954 hand wound pickups deliver all the punch and balance. Finished in classic Black with Gold hardware.
2024 marks the platinum anniversary of the Stratocaster—that’s seven decades of the world’s greatest electric guitar. To mark this auspicious milestone, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition ’54 Hardtail Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic with Gold Hardware. Its two-piece select ash body (with offset seam on the treble side) produces lively resonance with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, with sparkling gold hardware and wrapped in a gorgeous Deluxe Closet Classic lacquer finish in Black.
Its one-piece quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a special 70th anniversary Soft “V” profile based on an incredible Strat neck from July 1954, topped by a 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 Strat wiring with wax paper cap and five-way switching.
All together it spotlights an ultra-rare set of period-correct Stratocaster appointments, with other premium features including a single-ply white pickguard, vintage-style hardtail bridge, vintage-style tuners, disc string tree, deluxe embroidered hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
