Fender Special Edition '60s Strat RW Surf Green

Descrizione

The sixties are still considered to be the Fender Stratocaster's golden years. Which is why original instruments of this era are virtually unaffordable. Luckily, the Fender Classic '60s Stratocaster makes for great alternative. This instrument has the looks, the feel and - of course - the sound of Strats of the period. Its Surf Green finish makes it look very pretty. Are you looking for an exclusive, affordable '60s Stratocaster? Then this is the guitar for you! Order yours quickly, as they are only available in a limited number.

Construction

The lightweight alder body is partly responsible for this Strat's nicely balanced sound. The 21-fret rosewood fretboard on the bolt-on maple neck sounds a little warmer than a maple version would. This guitar's hardware consists of Fender Vintage Style tuners and a 6-point vintage-style tremolo unit. In true '60s style, the headstock has the same colour as the body, and all the plastic parts have an aged look. Three Fender vintage-style single-coil Strat pickups complete the picture.

Special Edition Strat

According to many, the nitrocellulose lacquer that was used in the '60s is part of the period's Strats' unparalleled sound. Nitrocellulose lacquer was applied in a much thinner layer than the later-used polyurethane, and really allows the character of the wood to come forth. Combined with the traditional construction method and vintage hardware, this Stratocaster is as much like the original as possible. Fortunately, this guitar is a lot more affordable.
