Fender 75th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster - 2-color Bourbon Burst Reviews
The limited-edition 75th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster pays homage to Leo Fender's bold, revolutionary solidbody electric guitar. This superb axe includes a comfortably contoured, musical-sounding ash body, and its satin-finished Deep "C"-shaped neck, 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard, and sculpted neck heel ensure playability that's second to none. The Commemorative Strat churns out classic tones that range from bell-like and jangly to bluesy and biting, thanks to a trio of Fat ’60s single-coil pickups, while an RWRP middle pickup and modern 5-way switch wiring unlock a myriad of tonal options. You'll benefit from top-of-the-line hardware, including super-stable locking tuners and a 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel tone block. This exquisite Stratocaster is also embellished with a 75th anniversary ingot rear headstock inlay and an engraved anniversary neck plate. A light-catching gloss urethane finish and head-turning gold hardware round out this highly collectible, limited-edition Strat. Of course, the Fender 75th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster comes with a molded, plush-lined hardshell case and an exclusive certificate of authenticity.

The best Strat !
I immediately was drawn to this guitar by it's stunning looks ! Then as I always do with an electric guitar I sat down and played it unplugged to get a feel for it and to see how the body resonates. I was so loving everything about it that time kinda got away, after about 15 minutes my sales engineer Greg Baum walked in laughing and told me I should plug it in so I didn't miss the best part of it, the custom fat 60's pickups ! I truly believe Fender has built they're Best Strat !
The neck is perfect for rhythm and lead and is great for whole step bends due to it's radius and width and the tone on those pickups is incredible ! I would give it 6 stars but they only allow 5 !!
Perfect guitar
Love this guitar. Great feel, tons of character.
This Fender sounds crisp and sharp. It looks great!
My Fender 75th anniversary Strat arrived in the mail today. My immediate reaction is what a beautiful guitar this is. The wood pattern grabs your eye along with the gold accessories. The guitar sounds crisp and sharp. The pearl tuner knobs look great also dressed in gold.
The case is a heavy duty Fender case With a royal blue interior. It looks great.
I would highly recommend this guitar.
Absolutely fabulous strat!
A real masterpiece! Classy, great sound, ultra comfortable neck! Totally worth the money!
Bourbon burst 75th Commemorative
This guitar is nothing but class class class. It looks great it plays like butter and it sounds amazing, like what you want in the single coil sound. I bought it with an eye toward collection, but it is a great player! Fender pulled out all the stops. The attention to fine detail is exquisite. A perfect '10'
Bourbon on the Rocks
I want to thank my Sales Engineer, Chris Ishak for snagging me a beautiful Fender 75th Anniversary Stratocaster. I've been waiting for this puppy for months but patience pays off because this Fender is unbelievable. It plays and sounds wonderful. The Custom Shop Fat 60s Pick-ups provide a warm tone, but leaves enough room for that classic Strat Spank! The fit and finish are superb and the gold accents and headstock anniversary medallion are the icing on the cake ...not to mention the gorgeous bourbon color. I'm glad Fender stepped up and used Ash for the body which they're now limiting to mostly their more expensive custom shop guitars. If you're on the fence don't wait too long they'll be gone.
Fabulous Stratocaster
Sweetwater has the most accurate photos of the guitar finish... there is no red as even the Fender photos would indicate. The finish is beautiful with lovely grain. The neck has a bit more heft than a standard C neck. The neck is very smooth and plays extremely fast... very comfortable for chords and single note playing. It's a great neck. The pickups have a wonderful combination of chime and mid range punch.
In short, this is a fabulous Stratocaster: looks great, feels great, and sounds great.
Buttery smooth with all the spanky punch you want
This is my first Strat after many other guitars and I love this. Whatever they did to the neck is amazing; so easy to move back and forth between bar chords. The single coil pickups have all the bright chimy highs you want and then all the spank you'd expect. Top knotch
The Best Strat I’ve Ever Owned
I've had many Fenders in my life, Strats, Tele's Jazzmasters and a variety of others. This Stratocaster is by far the best Strat I've ever owned and played. The neck is butter smooth. The finish is flawless, it plays like a dream. There is virtually nothing wrong with this guitar. Fender hit it out of the park with this commemorative model. When I heard this model was coming out, I asked my rep Alden Debee to be sure to get me the first and best one he could get his hands on. As always, he didn't disappoint me. Flawless! Thanks Alden, and thank you Sweetwater. I'm beyond happy!
