DISC Fender FSR Classic 60s Stratocaster, Ocean Turquoise Metallic

Full Description

High Quality Craftsmanship

The classic 60s Stratocaster features a solid maple body with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, delivering powerfully bright, precise tones with a perfectly tight low end. The maple wood contributes tightness and cut to the guitars sound, allowing the highs to sizzle and gives the midrange a snappy attack. The rosewood fingerboard helps to ‘fur up’ the maples natural tonality, providing the guitar with thick lows and an open midrange. The Vintage style tremolo bridge provides the ability to create incredible pitch bends and dive bombs while keeping the strings stable and in-tune. The Gotoh tuners and tusq nut work together to keep the strings stable, while the tuners allow for quick string changes.

Vintage Style Single Coil Pickups

With specially voiced vintage style single coil pickups in the neck and bridge position, the FSR Classic 60s Stratocaster delivers the iconic bright and crisp tones of 60s Fender. The vintage style single coil pickups are perfect for a variety of genres and playing styles, but particularly excel when used for pop, rock and country as they achieve an impressive clarity and a balanced harmonic response.

The History of the Stratocaster

The Stratocaster is one of the world's most popular guitars and is an elegantly versatile creation that has a musical and cultural touchstone. Not long after Fender revolutionised music with the Telecaster and the Precision Bass, in 1954 they debuted the Stratocaster where it quickly became universally regarded as the archetypal electric guitar. Sleek and stylish aesthetics, smooth playing and tonally versatile, at the heart the Stratocaster remains a fantastic instrument - producing unmistakable sound with a timeless design. A first choice among players worldwide, there is simply nothing that sings, screams, whispers, moans, roars, rocks and rolls like a Fender Stratocaster.

Fender Japan Guitars

Fender Japan was established as a way for Fender to market their guitars to the Japanese market, allowing for the creation of low cost Fender guitars that still possess the high expectations and build quality of their American counterparts. Japan is often considered to be one of the leading places in the world for guitar manufacturing, although most of the guitars produced are not sold in the UK the FSR models allow you to purchase an exceptionally high quality and unique guitar.
