General

The sixties are still considered to be the golden age of the Fender Stratocaster. Original '60s models, however, are becoming increasingly hard to find, which makes them equally hard to afford. Fortunately, Fender offers a more budget-friendly alternative with the Fender Special Edition '60s Stratocaster RW Cerulean Blue. This Factory Special Run's extraordinary Cerulean Blue finish was inspired by the Cadillacs of the same decade. That's right, this exclusive instrument combines both the looks, the sound and the feel of a genuine 1960s Stratocaster! Don't wait to long to order yours, however - this eyecatcher is only available for a limited time.

Special Edition '60s Stratocaster: construction

In part, the Stratocaster owes its immense popularity to its incredible versatility. Since the 1960s, the Strat has played an essential part in the development of pop music. From rock to funk and any genre in between, the instrument has left its indelible mark. This Stratocaster's distinct, versatile sound is produced by an alder body, equipped with three vintage-style single-coil pickups that accurately reproduce every subtle detail of your performance. Its maple neck has a traditional C profile and is fitted with a rosewood fretboard with 21 medium jumbo frets. Use the guitar's vintage-style synchronised tremolo to add a nice bit of vibrato to your music.

Guitars from the Fender Classic series

Fender's Classic series consists of guitars that were modelled after traditional Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster and Jaguar models. From their retro colours to their sturdy neck profiles, the Classic models manage to truly capture the essence of their illustrious predecessors. When they built this Special Edition '60s Stratocaster, Fender faithfully followed the original 1960s Strat design. Equipped with vintage-style hardware, it closely resembles a genuine sixties Strat model - apart from its price tag, of course! Thanks to a number of modern modifications, the electric guitar's stability and playing comfort have been increased considerably. Relive the sixties with the Fender Special Edition '60s Stratocaster RW Cerulean Blue, which still sounds as phenomenal as it did in its heyday.
