Special Edition '60s Stratocaster: construction

As we said, this Stratocaster is highly versatile, partly thanks to its alder body, which gives it a balanced tone with powerful mids. It's also very lightweight, ensuring this guitar is comfortable to play as well. Furthermore, not only does the rosewood fretboard look good, it also gives this Fender a warm sound that's ideal for chords and sweet solos. A traditional synchronised tremolo and vintage-style tuners ensure the guitar stays in tune, while it's also fitted with an artificially aged pickguard to really give it that '60s look. Finally, three Vintage-Style Single-Coil Strat pickups take care of this FSR Fender's bright, versatile sound.
