This a guitar that feels like a blend of the best classic and modern features. Its warmth and resonance recall vintage Strats, while the modern neck specs and roasted maple construction make it a joy to play.
When Fender unveiled the Stratocaster in the spring of 1954, it revolutionized the music world. Its sleek, contoured double-cutaway body, trio of single-coil pickups, and groundbreaking synchronized tremolo set the standard for modern electric guitars. Seventy years later, the Strat’s iconic sound continues to inspire players across generations, and this 70th Anniversary LTD Stratocaster pays tribute to that enduring legacy.
A standout feature of this guitar is the roasted maple neck, shaped with a fat 70th Anniversary carve (.94"–.97") and paired with a 9.5" radius and 6105 frets. Resonant, snappy, and incredibly comfortable, it’s the kind of neck that feels instantly familiar to players who appreciate a chunkier profile. If slim necks are your preference, this one might not be your cup of tea, but for those who love substance, it’s a dream to play.
Sonically, the hand-wired ’54 pickups bring vintage Strat sparkle, clarity, and dynamic range to the forefront. Fender added a Fat ’50s bridge pickup for extra warmth and punch, giving this Strat an expanded tonal range that shines whether you’re playing clean, overdriven, or somewhere in between. No brittle tones here—just lush highs, tight lows, and a robust bridge pickup that sings.
The result is a guitar that feels like a blend of the best classic and modern features. Its warmth and resonance recall vintage Strats (particularly those from the ’60s), while the modern neck specs and roasted maple construction make it a joy to play. It’s the kind of instrument that keeps us coming back, tempted to order more with these specs—and we think you’ll feel the same.
