COMMENTS
Replaces Japanese Collectable Series 60's Stratocaster
Replaced by Vintera '60s Stratocaster
FENDER SAYS
For guitarists who must have original-era Strat sound, look and feel, the Classic Series '60s Stratocaster epitomizes the instrument during its second decade, when musicians used it to conjure and create electrifying sounds never before imagined or experienced. With its authentic features and finishes, everything about it takes you back to a wildly creative time when rock music came into its own—from surf to psychedelia and more—and players started to discover in earnest just what a phenomenal instrument the Stratocaster really was.
