USED Fender '54 American Vintage Reissue AVRI Stratocaster
Up for grabs is a GORGEOUS 2014 Fender 60th Anniversary '54 AVRI Stratocaster! The Fender 60th Anniversary American Vintage '54 Stratocaster commemorates the 60th anniversary of the introduction of the Fender Stratocaster in 1954. There was a different 60th Anniversary Stratocaster released in 2006 for the 60th anniversary of Fender as a company. Over the years, there have been many unforgettable Stratocasters: David Gilmour's The Black Strat, Stevie Ray Vaughn's Number One, Dick Dale's The Beast, Eric Clapton's Blackie - but none of them would exist without the 1954 production model that started it all. This 60th Anniversary American Vintage 1954 Stratocaster re-creates that inaugural Strat in all of its glory in every possible detail, from its round string tree and bone nut down to its "patent pending" saddles. And when you plug in to your favorite tube amp, a set of three never-before-released 1954 Single-Coil Stratocaster pickups reward you by taking you on a journey back through six glorious decades of American electric guitar history.
This is a USED guitar in EXCELLENT condition. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot us a message, visit us in-store or give us a call at (217) 607-8132.
