The mind boggles when one realises that the Stratocaster turns 60 this year. We said the same on its 40th and 50th anniversaries, of course, but this guitar really could have come off the drawing board six days, let alone six decades, ago. Putting it into context, that same year, Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill were both still in office.
At the bottom of our price ladder comes the Mexican-made 60th Anniversary Classic Player '50s Strat; in the middle sits the 60th Anniversary American Standard Commemorative Strat; and topping out this birthday trio is the 60th Anniversary American Reissue 1954 Strat.
