Fender '60 Stratocaster guitar
As a successful replica of the 1960s Strat, the Fender '60 Stratocaster NOS RW Lake Placid Blue #R129457 offers all the qualities of a successful Stratocaster electric guitar of the era.

Naturally, the Fender '60 Stratocaster NOS RW Lake Placid Blue comes in a matching hardshell Case and with an enclosed certificate of authenticity.
The Fender '60 Stratocaster NOS RW Lake Placid Blue #R129457 is the perfect instrument for fans of the famous Sixties Strat.
Classic Strat made from alder and maple
In order to retain the crisp basic tone of the original, the Fender '60 Stratocaster NOS RW Lake Placid Blue features the classic wood combination of an alder body and a maplescrew-on neck. The back of the neck features a historically accurate '60s oval 'C' neck profile, which conveys a tried-and-tested feel for the picking hand and makes any lick easy to play. The neck is finished off with a rosewood fingerboard in AAA quality with 21 vintage frets and a traditional 7.25" radius for an authentic playing feel.
Custom Shop '60s Single-Coils
In addition to the basic construction, the electrical equipment of the Fender '60 Stratocaster NOS RW Lake Placid Blue also follows the classic specifications of the early sixties. For this, Fender uses three Custom Shop '60s single coils, which come as close as possible to the single coils used at the time in terms of winding technology and components. The result is a powerful yet surprisingly versatile sound of the Stratocaster, which impresses with rocking bridge sounds, sparkling intermediate positions, a funky-sounding middle pickup and warm, vocal sounds from the neck pickup.
American VintageTremolo & Vintage-Style Tuners
The historically accurate selection of add-on parts used for this Custom Shop Stratocaster should also not be underestimated. At the lower end, a 6-saddle American Vintage tremolo bridge in classic Strat design provides shimmering vibrato sounds, while the six vintage-style tuners in Kluson style provide the unmistakable headstock look of the Fender '60 Stratocaster NOS RW Lake Placid Blue. Furthermore, the nickel/chrome-look hardware design and a Lake Placid BlueNitro-Finish with NOS treatment provide the appropriate visual appearance.
