General

More than half a century after they were first issued, Fender's 1950s Stratocasters are still highly coveted electric guitars. Original models from the fifties are becoming increasingly rare, which certainly drives up their average price. Fortunately, Fender offers a number of reissues in various price ranges, the most affordable being the Classic Series '50s Strat. It features both the classic looks and the renowned sound of a '50s Stratocaster, and comes with a remarkably reasonable price tag. This limited edition boasts a beautiful Jetstream Blue finish, a colour that was inspired by the Cadillacs from the 1950s.

Limited edition '50s Strat: vintage characteristics

This Strat's Jetstream Blue hue is not the only thing that takes you straight back to the fifties. It's maple neck with soft V profile and 21-fret maple fretboard clearly show that Fender faithfully followed the original 1950s Strat design when they built this instrument. Like the classic '50s Stratocaster model, this special edition has a body with rounded edges and deep contours. Three alnico single-coil pickups deliver the characteristic '50s punch. The guitar features Kluson-style machine heads, and its plastic parts were artificially aged to lend it an authentic look. A white single-ply pickguard nicely sets off the Strat's gorgeous Jetstream Blue finish.

Limited edition: Cadillac colours

Although the Classic series is a regular part of Fender's assortment, these Special Editions are available for a limited time only. This Jet Stream Blue model is part of a line of three that was inspired by the exuberantly yet stylishly coloured Cadillacs from the fifties. Have you fallen in love with the Fender Special Edition '50s Stratocaster MN in Jetstream Blue? Make sure you get yours in time, for there is only a limited number of these fantastic Strats available. Act quickly, and you can call this rare, beautiful instrument your own.
