Back in 1954, would Leo Fender have imagined that his new electric guitar design would still be probably the most copied, played and used electric guitar design in the world?
70 years on, it’s still going strong. Over the years, the design has been tweaked and adapted to various trends and multiple new genres, but at it’s core, the Fender Stratocaster is just a brilliant bit of design. It wouldn’t have endured from 1954 to 2024 otherwise.
So, why not celebrate the Year of the Strat with this anniversary edition!
