Fender Limited Edition American Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar Channel Bound, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dakota Red

To honor the 60th anniversary of the Stratocaster in 2014, the venerable American Standard Stratocaster now comes in a new limited edition model featuring Fender‰۪s innovative channel-bound compound-radius fingerboard and the time-honored look of a Dakota Red or Sonic Blue gloss finish.

The fingerboard is 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. Further, the fingerboard‰۪s 9.5‰۝-14‰۝ compound radius graduates smoothly from a more rounded profile at the nut (great for chording) to a more flattened profile near the body (great for soloing).

• Three Fender Custom Shop Fat '50s single-coil pickups with five-way switching
