Fender Special Edition '50s Stratocaster MN Jetstream Blue

Allmänt

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.
