1954 Fender Stratocaster – Sunburst
Description
This gorgeous 1954 Fender Stratocaster is everything you could want from a first-year Strat! It’s got a Sunburst ash body, with stunning grain that is even more compelling in the light, in various angles. There is also a slight flame to this rich maple neck, which is extremely soft from playing and sports a comfortable C profile. This one is a featherweight, putting it just above 7 lbs. It sports 29th week of 54 pots, a TG-7-54 neck, and tape in the electronics cavity labeled “Caroline D 7/30-54”, making this a mid-year example. This guitar is particularly special and has quickly become a store favorite, not only for its looks and specs, but also for its playability and sound. Simply put, it just has the “it” factor. Act quickly to take it home today in its original Poodle Case!
