Gear Hunter

Built to mark the 1954 introduction of the Stratocaster, this model is based on the American Standard platform but with a number of upgrades and a limited production run of 1,954 guitars.

The Fender 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster body is lightweight Ash with a slightly contoured heel, the neck Maple with compound radius (9.5 to 14 inches) 22 frets and medium-jumbo fretwire. The metal hardware including the two-point trem is gold plated, and the tuners feature faux-pearl buttons. The pickups are specially created to 1954 specifications. The pick guard is a parchment white three layer type. An upgrade that most might take for granted is that the wiring includes a 5-position switch!
