2006 marked Fender’s Diamond Anniversary (1946-2006), and to celebrate, they created some special models that incorporate a balance of vintage and modern features. For the Fender fan, collector, or any player looking to own a piece of guitar history, this is an outstanding guitar! The 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster is an American Series Strat with special US Vintage pickups (rw/rp middle), a specially marked case, an engraved neckplate, and jeweled headstock to commemorate Fender’s Diamond Anniversary(1946-2006). This Strat emanates an elegant, classic-yet-timeless vibe. It features the “Delta Tone” system with a high-output bridge pickup and special No-Load tone control for the middle and bridge pickups.

This guitar has lived its entire life either inside my recording studio or its beautiful case. It has never traveled. It may have fewer that 200 hours of playing time on it, so there are no signs of wear, frets and otherwise. This guitar has been upgraded to include Schaller strap locks, Buzz Feiten tuning system, and Graph Tech TUSQ saddles. These modifications are non-destructive and the original parts are included. This guitar has been played by a number of artists, who were all very impressed with its tone, sustain, and playability. It is certainly one of my favorite guitars and it will be a sad day to see it go, but it needs to played and loved.
