This Limited Edition Golden 1954 Heavy Relic Strat with Gold Hardware and Gold Anodized Pickguard honors the Stratocaster' very first model year and is finely crafted with a rich selection of features and appointments, in addition to a heavy relic treatment that evokes decades of use, abuse and hard-fought wear and tear.

The one-piece ash body features a battered nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck has a comfortable 1954 "U"-shaped profile and tinted lacquer finish, and the maple fingerboard has a 9.5 radius and twenty-one 6105 frets for smooth modern playability. Three 1954 single-coil Stratocaster pickups deliver a singing original-era voice.

Other features include modern five-way pickup switching, a gold anodized pickguard, synchronized tremolo bridge with six œpatent pending saddles and serial number-stamped tremolo backplate, vintage-style tuners and gold hardware.

Hardshell case included.
