First on sale in 1954, the Stratocaster, or Strat, is celebrating 70 years in the business, and to mark the occasion Fender is releasing seven new special edition models you won’t want to miss.
These include two classic Stratocaster models (the Player and American Professional II) along with five special editions that celebrate the history of Leo Fender’s masterpiece.
