Not to be confused with other domestic models, such as the ST68-85TX domestic model (Alder Body, Texas Special Pickups, Vintage "F" tuners, Mint 11 Holes modern config. Pickguard, Oval Neck Shape, #1 Wing String Tree, Black CBS Logo)
Called "Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster"

​FENDER SAYS
The U-shaped neck, large headstock and glossy maple fingerboard are unmistakable features that defined an era. This beautiful reproduction has it all - vintage tuners and tremolo, three-ply white/black/white pickguard and ash (basswood) body in all right finishes.
