Overview

Behold the Fender Special Run '57 Strat in Candy Apple Red.

One of the most popular instruments in history, the Fender Stratocaster guitar is the most imitated electric guitar ever. 1957 was a landmark year for the instrument - it had evolved from its early incarnations into an archetype - and it was the high point of the maple-neck era. Features include an alder body (ash on White Blonde model), 57/62 pickups, three-way switching (five-way switch kit included), beveled pickup magnets, ashtray bridge cover and single-ply pickguard. Includes case.
