COMMENTS
Not to be confused with other '60s style Stratocasters made in Japan intended fo the Japanese domestic market only, with different specs.
Not to be confused with the Foto Flame Finish models with Foto Flame Stratocasters, that had an alder body with a basswood top with foto flame finish on top (not on the back as 60's strats) and a foto flame neck with foto flame logo (60's Strats had a classic natural finish neck).
Model 025-0100, called 60's Stratocaster Natural (3/1994-12/1994), is the same of 60's Stratocaster except an alder body with basswood cap and a Natural "Foto Flame" Finish on body and neck.
Replaced by Classic Series '60s Stratocaster (Mexico)
FENDER SAYS
Aged Knobs, pickup covers, pickguard, tremolo and switch tips lend authenticity to this collectable. C-shaped (U) maple neck with rosewood slab fretboard, vintage tuners and tremolo, basswood body and lots of '60s vibe.
