Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Fat 54 – Faded Aged Canary Yellow

2024 marks the platinum anniversary of the Stratocasterthats seven decades of the worlds greatest electric guitar. To mark this auspicious milestone, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition 54 Hardtail Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic with Gold Hardware. Its two-piece select ash body (with offset seam on the treble side) produces lively resonance with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, with sparkling gold hardware and wrapped in a gorgeous Deluxe Closet Classic lacquer finish in Faded Aged Canary Yellow.

Its one-piece quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a special 70thanniversary Soft V profile based on an incredible Strat neck from July 1954, topped by a vintage compound-radius fingerboard (7.25 to 9.5) with 21 medium vintage (47095) frets and a 1.625 bone nut. Three Custom Shop hand-wound 54 Strat pickups deliver that classic Strat voice with clear, bell-like highs, routed through vintage ’54 Strat wiring with wax paper cap and five-way switching.

All together it spotlights an ultra-rare set of period-correct Stratocaster appointments, with other premium features including a single-ply white pickguard, vintage-style hardtail bridge, vintage-style tuners, disc string tree, deluxe embroidered hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
