Fender 75th Anniversary Stratocaster - USA 2021

In 2021 Fender celebrated 75 years since Leo Fender founded the company in 1946, and the American 75th Anniversary Stratocaster was the centrepiece of that celebration. Built in the USA and finished in a rich 2-Colour Bourbon Burst, it combines the classic Stratocaster design with commemorative details and upgrades that set it apart from a standard production model.

This example features an ash body, a one-piece maple neck with a Deep C profile and a maple fingerboard with a 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets. Gold hardware, including modern locking tuners with white pearloid buttons, contrasts with a three-ply pickguard, while a 2-point synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles provides smooth, stable vibrato. The anniversary details include a 75th Anniversary ingot inlaid in the back of the headstock and an engraved commemorative neck plate.

A pair of Custom Shop Fat '60s single-coil pickups in the bridge and neck positions are joined by a reverse wound, reverse polarity single-coil in the middle, giving the classic 5-way Strat range from glassy neck tones through to the quack of positions 2 and 4 with hum cancelling in the in-between settings. With a master volume and two tone controls, it delivers rich, articulate clean tones and plenty of character when pushed into overdrive.

The guitar is supplied in its original custom moulded hardshell case in Inca Silver with a Lake Placid Blue interior, along with the case candy shown in the photos. Please refer to the photos for a full view of its condition, and feel free to get in touch if you would like any further images or details.
