When Leo Fender introduced the world to his newest creation, the Stratocaster, nobody could possibly have known it would change the face of contemporary music forever. To celebrate the last 60 years of this beloved icon, Sweetwater has created the Fender Sweetwater 60th Anniversary Stratocaster. This upgraded axe features a lightweight, "comfort contoured" alder body which has actually changed very little since the first Strats rolled off the production lines in 1954. The classic maple neck and fingerboard combination helps deliver that authentic Strat "spank and sparkle." A parchment pickguard and control knobs add a classy touch. This limited-edition guitar has been hot rodded with a trio of Fender 60th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster pickups for killer vintage tone.
Fender 60th Anniversary pickups deliver pure vintage toneAdd authentic vintage tone to your collection with the Sweetwater 60th Anniversary Stratocaster's upgraded Fender 60th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster pickup set. You'll have all of your favorite iconic Strat tones on tap thanks to the period-correct design. You've got exceptional clarity and brightness thanks to the Formvar magnet wire, plus rich mids and focused lows with Alnico 3 magnets. Fender only made 1,954 sets of these vintage reproduction pickups. Get the vintage vibe you've been looking for with Sweetwater's 60th Anniversary Stratocaster electric guitar.
Vintage-style tremolo offers smooth playabilityWhile there's no denying the fact that Leo Fender's guitar designs were an amazing blend of art and engineering, it was the erroneously named synchronized tremolo (it's actually a vibrato) that may well have been his most inspired bit of engineering. With it you can bend notes or even entire chords up or down without throwing the guitar out of tune. Even though Fender has continued to improve upon the tremolo, many players simply prefer the look and feel of the original. The Fender Sweetwater 60th Anniversary Stratocaster comes with that vintage style tremolo, but adds a high mass bridge block for improved sustain and tone.
