Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Toting all of Fender's favorite appointments from the transitional era and blending in a 9.5" fingerboard radius and 5-way switching, the American Original series is a wonderful combination of vintage-correct and modern-professional specs! Love that Soft V neck!

SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress & setup

From Fender

When we released the Stratocaster in 1954, we didn’t set out to create a classic—but we did. The Stratocaster’s sleek style, articulate sound and plethora of innovations redefined electric guitar and opened up a brave new world of musical possibilities. The American Original ‘50s Stratocaster maintains Fender’s legendary original-era style and ground-breaking tone, while adding modern feel and pickup switching.
