That neck!!! Okay, you might say that starting a guitar description with “that neck” could be a little confusing, but seriously, what a neck!!! Big, round, generous, wide, deep, reminiscent of some necks from the 1950s, yet this neck that doesn’t exist but somehow does exist is absolutely fantastic!! When Fender launched the Stratocaster in 1954, they weren’t trying to create a classic; yet that’s exactly what happened. With its elegant design, precise tone and numerous innovations, the Stratocaster redefined the electric guitar and opened up a whole new world of musical possibilities.

The American Original ’50s Stratocaster is built with a classic alder body, providing balanced resonance and excellent sustain. Its fingerboard, with a 9.5-inch radius, meets the expectations of contemporary musicians while preserving a traditional aesthetic, ensuring smooth and natural playability.

This 2018 guitar has seen plenty of playing time, but it only shows some scratches and small marks, mainly on the back of the guitar, probably caused by a stand, as well as light playwear across the body that gives it a great look. The frets are in perfect condition and show no signs of damage.
