35 years of Fender Stratocaster

35th anniversary Stratocasters
Italiano
English
Just as it had for the 25th anniversary of 1979, during the CBS era, the new management of Fender decided to celebrate 35 years of its flagship guitar with a new Anniversary Stratocaster.
The 1989 ​​35th Anniversary Stratocaster was made by the newborn Custom Shop and was inspired by the Strat Plus and the Elite: in fact the new guitar had Lace Sensor Silver pickups, locking tuning machines, TBX and MDX.
A mini toggle switch put between the two tone knobs allowed the selection of the active or  passive electronics (just like that of the very first models/prototypes of the Clapton and which the guitarist rejected at the last moment).
The bridge was the 2-pivot with block saddles.
The woods had been selected to make the Anniversary Stratocaster unique.  The twenty-two fret birds-eye maple neck was paired with an ebony fretboard with abalone fret-markers; the body featured a figured maple top (curly or quilted) with an Antique Sunburst finish.  The top was very thick because Fender did not specialize in top bending.
The original nut, a Wilkinson Roller Nut, was almost immediately replaced with a Teflon one.
500 units, all numbered on the back of the headstock, were sold between 1989 and 1990.  The guitar, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, would have been the “base” for the future Strat Ultra, another obvious sign of the intense collaboration between the Custom Shop and the Research & Development department of Fender.
