Affordable Vintage Vibe
Fender's Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Lacquer sports a classic '50s vibe. In the era of diners and cars with fins, the Strat was king of solidbody electric guitars. Still is. The comfort-contoured alder body, the soft V tinted maple neck, the single-ply pickguard with three single-coil pickups, the vintage-style vibrato; it's all there and dressed in a gorgeous, period-correct nitrocellulose laquer finish. If smooth playability, eye-poppin' vintage looks, and legendary spank and sparkle are on your guitar gotta-have list, hook up with Fender's Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Lacquer.

The Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Lacquer gives you the smooth playability and exquisite control of Fender's classic soft V maple neck. Fender's V-profile necks have legions of aficionados for whom there is no other neck shape. If you've wondered what all the fuss is about, here's your (affordable) chance to find out. If we're preaching to the choir, welcome home!
Period-correct appointments, with a few modern touchesThis guitar is put together. From its 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets and black-dot inlays to its trio of vintage-style single-coil pickups with staggered alnico pole pieces, this puppy oozes '50s vibe. It even comes with a classic Tweed case. But don't think this Strat is stuck in the past. Modern wiring and 5-way switching give you quiet operation onstage and in the studio and truckloads of tonal options.
Nitrocellulose lacquer finish for classic looks and soundThis Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes (standard back in the day) are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to breathe. Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. This guitar has the look (and feel) of a well-aged classic.
