The Fender 70th Anniversary Player Stratocaster pays tribute to seven decades of Strat vibe, style, versatility and tone. The stunning Nebula Noir finish (speckled with multi-colored, mid-century-modern-style sparkle dots), black pickup covers and white pearloid pickguard strut an eye-catching contemporary look, while Fender Pure Vintage ’59 single-coils produce the vintage sounds that helped make the Stratocaster such a legendary instrument.

“My favorite Strat story is when I was 15 years, my friends showed me their dad’s 1959 Stratocaster,” says Michael Eisenstein (Letters to Cleo). “He had toured with Gary U.S. Bonds in the ’60s, and I played his guitar every time I was over to their house. That experience harkens back to this Strat. The pickups on the 70th Anniversary Player Stratocaster have great clarity and dynamics, and I love the cosmetic choices Fender made for the model. This guitar is a winner.”

For today’s players, the Fender 70th Anniversary Player Stratocaster beautifully straddles the past and the right now with an alder body and rosewood fingerboard, modern-C neck profile, 22 medium jumbo frets, ClassicGear machine heads and a 2-point synchronized tremolo.
