Fender is the undisputed number one brand for electric guitars and basses.
Countless top artists love it, including Eric Clapton, John Mayer, and Cory Wong.
Released by Fender in 1954, the Stratocaster model emerged as a derivative of the Telecaster, the original solid-body guitar.
Its innovative design and high versatility have endeared it to countless artists, coloring the music scenes of various genres from its debut to the present day.
It truly represents the quintessential electric guitar model.
This model is a Stratocaster from the highly regarded yet now defunct Fender Japan brand (integrated into the Fender brand).
