2014 60th Anniversary Fender Stratocaster with Channel Bound Neck
Summary: Fender American series Stratocasters represent the latest evolution of Fender's iconic design. More than a decade of player feedback, culled directly from consumer comments and player input, was incorporated into the creation and refinement of these guitars. From the feel of the neck to the tone of the pickups, the result is a better sounding, better playing Strat. To honor the 60th anniversary of the Stratocaster in 2014, the venerable American Standard Stratocaster is available in a special limited edition model featuring Fender’s innovative channel-bound fingerboard. The Limited Edition American Standard Stratocaster Channel-Bound has its compound-radius fingerboard inlaid into the neck in a design with an elegant appearance and a distinctive fretting-hand feel in which both edges are comfortably rounded, with no side seam between neck and fingerboard. Together with Fender Custom Shop pickups, other great features and the timeless look of a Dakota Red gloss finish, it’s a remarkable Stratocaster experience for the discerning player.
