Fender stratocaster


Fender stratocaster, is designed by Leo Fender, George Fullerton and Freddie Tavares in 1954. It is a double-cutaway guitar, with an extended top horn for balance while standing. The Fender stratocaster used by many master guitarist in all music scene, from bluess to rock, from jazz to swing, it's one of the most popular guitars of all time. Along with the Gibson Les Paul, Gibson SG, and the Fender Telecaster. The design of the Fender stratocaster has been marked to be one of the classic and had steal the heart of many of his fan.

Fender Stratocaster was offered only in a 2-color sunburst finish in the early production (50s model) , together with a solid one-piece maple neck with 21 frets, black dot inlays and Kluson machine heads. There was also a set of available custom colors that wasn't standardized until 1960. These custom colors were mostly automobile lacquer colors made by Dupont and could be had for an extra 5% cost. The single-ply, 8-screw hole white pickguard was a unique concept that allowed all of the guitar's electronic components to be mounted on one easy-to-remove surface. Subsequent Stratocaster designs (by both Fender and other imitating companies) have ostensibly improved upon the original in usability and sound, but vintage Fender models are still often worth large amounts of money and the older the models the more value its.
