For guitarists who must have the instrument’s original-era tone, look and feel, the Classic Series ’50s Stratocaster epitomizes the guitar in the decade of its debut, with unmistakable early Strat® style and sparkling sound. With its authentic vintage-style features and finishes, everything about it takes you back to the time of diners, “Ike for President,” cars with fins, a wild new kind of music called rock ‘n’ roll and an upstart little Southern California company called Fender.

This instrument features vintage-style single-coil pickups that expertly evoke the sound and style of classic Fender guitars from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.

The “soft V” neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) on this instrument has a distinctly comfortable fretting-hand feel that takes the more pronounced sharpness of a ’50s “V” profile and “softens” it into a somewhat more rounded shape. Ideal for players with larger hands whose thumb extends over the edge of the fingerboard.

With authentic design and performance that evokes the Stratocasters of the 1950s and ’60s, this model features a vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with six saddles.

International Buyers – Please Note: 

Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. I know nothing about customs policies.

I ship the guitar insured for the full amount whenever I can. If you have special shipping requirements, you must pay the difference between the stated shipping price and your special need. I normally ship overseas by United States Mail Priority Mail International (which I am advised is through contract with FedEx), but some countries will not allow the guitar to be insured for the full purchase amount. In addition, some countries have a size limitation on shipments different from those in the United States. You need to check with your particular customs to determine the shipping policy. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO UNDERVALUE THE GUITAR OR MARK IT AS A GIFT ON THE U.S. CUSTOMS FORM.
