One of the most popular instruments in history, our Fender Stratocaster guitar is certainly the most imitated electric guitar ever. 1957—the peak of the maple-neck Strat era—was a benchmark year for the instrument, which had evolved from early incarnations into an archetype. Original details on this left-handed American Vintage ’57 Stratocaster include unique ’57/’62 pickups, three-way switching (five-way switch kit included), hand-beveled pickup magnets, ashtray bridge cover and single-ply pickguard.
