Replaces Time Machine '69 Stratocaster
FENDER SAYS
1969 was a great year for music and for fender guitars. Our '69 stratocaster reflects that amazing year, with features including a large headstock, u-shaped maple neck with round-lam maple or rosewood fingerboard, three-ply pickguard and custom 1969 single-coil 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.
