Description
For players who've fallen in love with the sound, feel, and soul of the Stratocaster, this one's for you. Celebrating 70 years of iconic tones and timeless style, the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Stratocaster is more than a guitar; it's a tribute to one of the most influential instruments in music history. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a devoted collector, this Strat captures the essence of a golden legacy while stepping confidently into the future.
Crafted with a 2-piece select alder body, this Strat sings with lively resonance and a naturally balanced tone that's ready for everything from soulful blues to stadium-ready rock. The NOS lacquer finish in Aged Bright Sapphire Metallic doesn't just shimmer; it tells a story. Complemented by gold hardware and a parchment pickguard, the visuals alone are worth a second (and third) glance. The heart of this Strat lies in its trio of Custom Shop hand-wound Fat '50s pickups; voiced with gold magnets, they deliver shimmering highs, focused mids, and a full low-end character that feels warm, familiar, and endlessly expressive. Add in the Vintage Modified #2 wiring with a Tone-Saver bleed circuit, and you get precise volume control without sacrificing tone; ideal for live dynamics or intricate studio work.
The one-piece 4A flame maple neck is a showpiece in itself; sculpted with a substantial yet comfortable 10/'56 Soft "V" profile and topped with a 9.5" radius fingerboard, it invites smooth bends and articulate phrasing. Jescar Medium Vintage frets offer that perfect in-between feel-subtle enough for nuanced control, yet solid enough for bold lead work. This guitar stays in tune and plays clean thanks to a bone nut, vintage-style tuners, and the Custom Shop synchronized tremolo, ensuring rock-solid performance and expressive potential.
Visually, it's a love letter to Strat history. From the gleaming sapphire finish and abalone dot inlays to the gold hardware and special 70th Anniversary neck plate, every detail evokes reverence and celebration. It's an instrument that looks just as stunning onstage as it does in a collector's display.
At Cream City Music, we don't just carry guitars like this, we live for them. The 70th Anniversary Stratocaster is a rare gem that honors tradition while offering modern craftsmanship and tonal excellence. It's a statement piece with a voice as bold as its legacy, and we're proud to help it find its next chapter.
