Fender Special Edition '50s Stratocaster MN Apple Green

Allmänt

There are only very few guitarists whose hands won't start itching when you present them with a real 1950s Stratocaster. Unfortunately, not many original Strat models from the fifties are left, making them quite expensive. If you can't afford a genuine '50s Strat, this Fender Special Edition '50s Stratocaster offers you the next best thing for a very reasonable price. Not only was it built exactly like a 1950s Strat, its scrumptious Apple Green colour was inspired by the iconic American sports cars from the same decade.

Limited edition '50s Strat: vintage characteristics

Like a real '50s Strat, this guitar has an alder body with rounded edges and deep contours, while its maple neck with soft V profile and 21-fret maple fretboard lend it an authentic fifties feel. Three alnico single-coil pickups deliver the characteristic punch '50s Strats were renowned for. The guitar's Kluson-style machine heads and vintage-style tremolo bridge, and its artificially aged plastic parts and single-ply pickguard complete the picture. In short, the Fender Special Edition '50s Stratocaster MN Apple Green both looks and sounds like a true classic.

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 Apple Green model is part of a line of three that was inspired by the exuberantly yet stylishly coloured Cadillacs from the fifties. Has the Fender Special Edition '50s Stratocaster MN in Apple Green caught your eye? Keep in mind that only a limited number of these Strats are available. Once they sell out, the chances of getting your hands on one are slim to none. Act quickly, however, and you can call this rare, beautiful instrument your own.
