The Classic Series '50s Stratocaster is a vintage-style, solid-body electric Guitar from Fender that offers a step-down from the company's Classic Player Series '50s Stratocaster. Intended to replicate the sound and aesthetic of the company's 1950s-era Strats played by musicians like Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, this model is outfitted with a number of period-accurate features engineered in conjunction with Fender's Custom Shop specialists in California. Made up of an alder body and a one-piece maple neck, the guitar also features "aged" knobs and switch tip, a five-position pickup blade, and a synthetic bone nut. A set of three Fender vintage-style Single-Coil Strat pickups complete the 50's Stratocaster, adding the classic "twang" sound that is synonymous with this model.
