A Brief History of the Fender Stratocaster Guitar
The Stratocaster guitar was first introduced in the spring of 1954, Stratocastor guitars are often referred to as Strats. The ash body design was based on the precision bass and features an asymmetrical double cut body which is contoured on the guitars back. The pick guard blended with the contours of the guitar creating a new look for the Fender guitar. There are three single coil pickups and the jack is recessed and angled into guitar top. It featured the first combined bridge-vibrato unit providing the strat tremolo. In 1959 a rosewood fingerboard was added. Fender was purchased by CBS in 1965 guitars manufactured before that date are more desirable to guitar collectors. In 1966 several changes were made including a larger headstock and a large "F" logo on the neck/body joining plate. In 1977 a five way selector was added to provide combinations of front and middle pickup and front and back pickup. Early finishes tended to be sunburst however the 1970's tended towards more natural finishes. Early 60's strats in Daphne Blue, Fiesta Red, Surf Green, Lake Placid blue and Burgundy Mist are unusual and desirable. In 1985 CBS sold fender back to Fender employees. The stratocaster is still in production with over one million guitars produced since introduction and remains the top selling guitar of the Fender product line.
