Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Lacquer 2 Tone Sunburst Overview
Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Lacquer 2 Tone Sunburst
For guitarists who must have original-era Strat sound, look and feel, the Classic Series '60s Stratocaster Lacquer epitomizes the instrument during its second decade when musicians used it to conjure and create electrifying sounds never before imagined or experienced. With authentic features including a nitrocellulose lacquer finish in classic 3-Color Sunburst, everything about it takes you back to a wildly creative time when rock music came into its own—from surf to psychedelia and more—and players started to discover in earnest just what a phenomenal instrument the Stratocaster really was.
Featuring a three-colour Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish, Maple neck with “C”-shaped profile and early-’60s “small” headstock, 7.25”-radius Pau
This instrument features vintage-style single-coil pickups that expertly evoke the sound and style of classic Fender guitars from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.
Nitrocellulose lacquer is one of the great original-era Fender electric guitar finishes and is still used today on select instruments. Thin, porous and delicate, it’s a premium finish prized for sonic qualities that let body woods breathe with their true tonal character, and for an appearance that ages and wears in a distinctive way appealing to many players.
The neck of this instrument has a comfortable "C" profile (the shape of the neck in cross-section), sculpted to impart a vintage-style playing feel from Fender’s first golden age in the 1950s and ’60s. The most prevalent neck profile shape, it’s remarkably comfortable and is ideal for all playing styles.
