Known for its iconic "Anniversary Silver" (originally Porsche Silver) finish, this model featured a 4-bolt neck plate, a return to pre-CBS style appointments, and an "Anniversary" decal on the top horn
Key details about the 1979 25th Anniversary Stratocaster:Production & Finish: Initially, the first 500 were finished in pearl white, but these turned yellow. The remaining ~10,000 were finished in a silver polyurethane finish, which is prone to chipping.Body & Neck: The body is typically alder, and the neck is maple with a "C" profile and a maple fingerboard.Hardware & Electronics: It features black pickguards, black pickup covers, and black knobs, commonly referred to as "black plastics". It also features Sperzel tuning machines, a four-bolt neck plate, and a 5-way pickup selector.Key Features: It was notable for using a 4-bolt neck attachment, which was more stable than the 3-bolt system on standard 1979 Stratocasters.Weight & Sound: These guitars can be quite heavy, typical of the late 70s CBS era, this one weighs well over 10lbs, which makes them quite resonant but heavy to play.
