Two-Piece Ash Body Finished In a Glossy Nitrocellulose Lacquer

Warm-toned, with a distinct midrange, bright, clear highs, and lovely grain pattern, ash is a wood. The premium finish known as nitrocellulose lacquer, which is found on Fender instruments from the 1950s and 1960s, reveals the instrument's true tonal character and offers a truly vintage aesthetic.

1954 Single-Coil Strat Pickups; 70th Anniversary

The 70th Anniversary 1954 Single-Coil Strat pickups are specially voiced to replicate the authentic sound of a vintage 1954 Stratocaster. They are full of the crystalline, bell-like tone and woody warmth that made Fender instruments famous.

1954 'C' Neck

This authentic neck profile from Fender's past is even and robust, with smooth and inviting playability from beginning to end. It replicates the shape and thickness of a 1954 Strat.

7.25-Inch Maple Fingerboard

The vintage frets and 7.25-inch radius fingerboard give this Stratocaster the cozy playing feel of a beloved 1950s model.

Antique-Looking Hardware

Every piece of hardware, including the bridge, string tree, and tuning machines, is made to resemble the originals in terms of appearance, sound, and functionality. This 1954 Stratocaster is different from later models in that it has the period-appropriate round disc-style string tree, unique pickup covers with a softer top-corner radius, a switch-tip shaped like a football, 'tallboy' knobs with small numbering and slim skirts, and circular string-holes in the backplate.
