This Fender Custom Shop 70th Anniversary limited edition Strat is a real stunner and won't be available for long. To celebrate 70 years of the Stratocaster®—the platinum anniversary of the world’s greatest electric guitar—the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition 70^th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster®. Its two-piece select ash body (with offset seam on the treble side) resonates with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, and wears a gorgeous Wide Fade Two-Color Sunburst lacquer finish. Its one-piece quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a special 70^th anniversary Soft “V” profile based on an incredible Strat® neck from July 1954. This is topped with vintage compound-radius fingerboard (7.25” to 9.5”) with 21 medium vintage (47095) frets and a 1.625” bone nut.

I don't get a lot of basses here, but I like this one a lot, it's a 1975 Fender Precision bass with some modifications. Structurally it's fine, cosmetically in very good condition, some honest dings, wear and chips as you would expect on a 5o year old instrument, a Fender USA gold bridge (original nickel bridge is in the case), gold Schaller tuners, gold knobs and La Bella nylon tape wrapped strings. This one is a player, and it's set up beautifully and sounds great. Custom pickguard has a small crack near one screw hole. Holes remain from the removal of the original tuners, which no longer accompany the bass, as well as where the thumb rest was removed (also absent). Original knobs are included. This one's a player bass, at home in the studio or on the road, and it has that classic P Bass sound in spades. Love the strings, super comfortable and have that deep vintage tone. With case which looks to be the original, plenty of wear but still serviceable. Condition: Very good; Body: Alder; Neck: Maple; Color: 3 color burst; Scale: 34; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)

This Fender Custom Shop 70th Anniversary limited edition Strat is a real stunner and won't be available for long. 2024 marked 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 70^th Anniversary Stratocaster®. Its two-piece select alder body delivers lively resonance and well-balanced tone and is decked out in gold hardware, an NOS lacquer finish in striking Bright Sapphire Metallic, and distinctively elevated features from the golden era of the Stratocaster.

1967’s Summer of Love and Flower Power movement influenced mainstream fashions worldwide, and Fender was on board with its new Paisley Telecasters. Oddly enough, the guitars became more popular with rockabilly and country western players (they were adopted most famously by Tele master James Burton) rather than the flower children that helped inspire them. These guitars have earned a special place in Fender history, and the Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1968 Paisley Tele models are faithful recreations of those original instruments. The two-piece select alder body wears an NOS lacquer finish with WLS undercoat over the famous Paisley or Blue Flower motif. The rift-sawn maple neck has a ’60-style “oval C” profile, topped by a round-lam rift-sawn maple fingerboard with 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound radius and 21 medium vintage frets for a comfortable feel up and down. Hand-wound Tele pickups with a three-way switch and modern Tele wiring. Other features include an eight-hole clear polyurethane pickguard, ’67 Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, Schaller^® “F” tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree. Deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity included. Condition: Relic; Body: Alder; Neck: Riftsawn maple, mid 60s oval C carve (.850/.920), 7-25-9.5 compound radius; Nut: 1.650; Color: Black Paisley; Pickups: Custom Shop handwound Twisted Tele and Original Blackguard; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)

1966 was the first full year of the larger headstock on the Stratocaster—a significant enlargement that notably changed the look of the guitar and, many believe, enhanced its resonance. Under new CBS ownership since the previous year, Fender production was still top notch, and the company was still producing highly sought-after, high-quality instruments. The Custom Shop 1966 Strat Deluxe Closet Classic re-creates the sought after large-headstock Strat in detail, with the perfect customizations for players and aficionados alike. The two-piece select alder body wears a polished but slightly aged Deluxe Closet Classic lacquer finish, while the quartersawn maple neck has a ’66 “oval C” profile, 9.5”-radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo (6150) frets for classic comfortable play. Custom Shop hand-wound ’65 Strat gray-bottom pickups (with reverse-wound/reverse polarity middle pickup) deliver thick tone, with Vintage Modified #2 wiring with Tone-Saver bleed circuitry and five-way switching, all on a three-ply parchment pickguard.

Condition: Deluxe Closet Classic; Body: Alder; Neck: 5/4 quartersawn maple, 66 Strat Oval C profile (.840-.974), 9.5 radius; Nut: 1.650; Color: 3 color sunburst; Pickups: handwound Vintage 65 Strat; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)

In the formative years following the Stratocaster's groundbreaking debut in 1954, it saw slight tweaks and modifications that helped firmly establish its legacy as the finest electric guitar ever made. The Vintage Custom 1955 Stratocaster has some cool, rare features that we feel represent the best of the origins of the Strat® and gives you a glimpse into the innovations that were crucial in its development. The NOS flash-coat lacquer finish lets the guitar breathe and shows some of the natural grain through its finish. The neck features a vintage 7.25"-9.5" compound radius, which we found on some rare examples, giving it a unique feel even among vintage-inspired models. It also features medium vintage frets, which are slightly larger than standard vintage size and very comfortable to play. Other features found on this guitar include Closet Classic hardware, a 2-piece ash body, tinted maple rift-sawn neck with a '54 "U"-shaped neck profile, 21 medium vintage frets, hand-wound '55 Strat pickups with transitional '54 covers, 5-way switch, vintage wiring, hardtail bridge, bone nut, round string tree and vintage-style tuning machines.
