The Empire ‘67 Stratocaster is one of the most sought after and best-selling Fender Custom Shop models in the world. Designed by Empire’s own guitar experts and built by the master craftsmen at Fender Custom Shop, the Empire Music Exclusive ‘67 Stratocaster guitars have become a true classic.

The soul of these instruments are the exclusive Empire Custom Shop ‘67 Hand-Wound Pickups. Offering complex tones and dynamic response, players will immediately notice their ability to sweep between clean tones that offer a unique maturity to snarling tones that handle plenty of gain while staying articulate.
