FENDER SAYS
An awesome reproduction of the classic '56 stratocaster guitar incorporates many unique details from one of the most sought-after and collectable strats ever made — it features a 10/56 neck, two-piece alder body and single-ply pickguard and original spec pickups. The guitar comes in a nos finish - as if it had been discovered in a warehouse after many years during which it was never played; or our relic finish - showing years of natural wear and tear, nicks, scratches, worn finish and aged parts. Looks, feels and plays like it has take the punishment of many long nightclub hours.
