Fender American Original '50s Stratocaster Aztec Gold · Maple Fingerboard · 2018
A stunning and one-of-a-kind American Original '50s Strat that's been taken well beyond the showroom. The guitar started life as Fender's Aztec Gold American Original — one of the most striking colors in the modern Fender palette — and has since been professionally reliced and dressed in gold hardware throughout, transforming it into something that looks like it's been on stage for 50 years.
Please note: The relic work is non-factory and the hardware has been replaced with gold — all Fender original parts. Both are disclosed fully and shown clearly in the photos.
The result is a guitar with serious visual character. Heavy paint checking and wear on the body reveals the wood beneath in all the right places, the neck has aged to a beautifully worn feel, and the gold hardware ties the whole look together perfectly. It's the kind of guitar that turns heads before you even plug it in.
Under all that personality is still the excellent American Original '50s platform — a lightweight alder body, a one-piece maple neck with a period-correct '50s "V" profile, vintage-spec pickups, and all the tone and playability that makes this series one of Fender's best. The guitar is in good playing condition — the wear is cosmetic and adds to the character rather than detracting from it.
If you're after a Strat that looks like it's lived a life and sounds like the real thing, this is it.
