Vintage-Style Hardware

The 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster features vintage-style hardware that enhances both its aesthetic and performance. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo allows for expressive vibrato and pitch bending, while the Kluson Deluxe tuning machines provide smooth and precise tuning adjustments. The single-ply white pickguard and white plastic control knobs complete the classic Stratocaster look.

New Old Stock (NOS) Finish

This limited-edition Stratocaster boasts a stunning “new old stock” (NOS) finish that captures the look and feel of a pristine vintage instrument. The two-color sunburst finish is meticulously applied and buffed to a high gloss, showcasing the beauty of the ash body. The NOS treatment gives this guitar the appearance of a time capsule, as if it had been perfectly preserved since 1954.
