Fender - 2014 American Standard Stratocaster® - Electric Guitar - Channel-Bound Rosewood - Sonic Blue - OHSC - x5765 - NOS

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Stratocaster in 2014, Fender released a limited edition American Standard Stratocaster that blends classic style with modern innovation. This special model features Fender’s groundbreaking channel-bound compound-radius fingerboard, offering a sleek, seamless feel with rounded edges and no visible seam between the neck and fingerboard. The compound radius transitions smoothly from a comfortable 9.5" curve at the nut—ideal for rhythm playing—to a flatter 14" radius near the body, perfect for expressive soloing.

Finished in a striking Sonic Blue gloss, this guitar pays tribute to the timeless aesthetics of vintage Strats. This particular instrument is new old stock, meaning it has never been sold at retail and remains in excellent condition, complete with its original case.
