Blending classic Fender elements with some unexpected touches, this guitar offers a versatile sound that ranges from smooth, ringing clarity to gritty, powerful drive.

The body feature a faded lake placid blue nitrocellulose lacquer, when has been carefully aged by the Fender Custom Shop team. This guitars ageing level is relic so you can expect to see lots of lacquer checking, dings, and wear across the guitar.

They are super dynamic and are full with tonal possibilities. This Strat also features custom Caballo Férreo (master volume, master tone) wiring.
With a vintage-style hardtail bridge, vintage-style tuners, 59-64 era string tree, and a bone nut, this guitar features high-quality hardware you can rely on no matter the situation.
