Item Description

Fender American Original '50s Stratocaster in Aztec Gold, produced in 2018. It has an ash body and a one-piece maple neck and fingerboard, following the materials of the original 1954 Stratocaster, and is fitted with Pure Vintage '59 single-coil pickups. Its vintage-style soft V neck gives a different feel from the American Vintage 57 model.
