With the 70th Player Strat, Fender celebrates the 70th anniversary of the legendary Stratocaster, which was first launched in 1954 and is still considered an icon among electric guitars today. With its traditional design and contemporary electronics,
The iconic three single coil pickup design of the original Stratocaster has naturally been adopted for the 70th Player Series model and consists of three Player Series Alnico 5 Strat single coils in the neck, middle and bridge positions. The special Player Series pickups not only produce the authentic sound of the original Strat SC pickups, but also deliver the necessary modern bite to meet contemporary sound standards. The 70th Player Strat is characterized by the Strat-typical bright tone color, defined by present mids and crystal-clear overtones creating a perfect foundation for finding your individual sound.
To mark the 70th anniversary of the original Stratocaster, the body of the 70th Player Strat was recreated with exactly authentic rad ii to convey the full vintage feel. The classic 2-point tremolo has also been retained, providing robust tuning stability and allowing the use of nuanced vibratos. The pickguard, pickup covers, knobs and 5-way switch are finished in parchment color, while the nickel/chrome hardware provides a classic look. The 70th Player Strat delivers an authentic vintage feel thanks to its accurate workmanship and iconic sound, bringing the spirit of the 50s back to life.
