These beautiful instruments have been made for and with the world's best guitarists such as Clapton, Springsteen, Cray, Gilmour, Townshend, Wilko Johnson, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, to name just a few.

When many people think of an electric guitar, this is what comes to mind. The Stratocaster is one of the world's most famous guitars and is an elegantly versatile creation that is a musical and cultural touchstone. Not long after Fender revolutionized music with the Telecaster and the Precision Bass, in 1954 they debuted the Stratocaster and it quickly became universally regarded as the archetypal electric guitar. With elegant and stylish aesthetics, smooth playing, and tonally versatile, at its heart the Stratocaster remains a fantastic instrument - producing unmistakable sound with a timeless design. A top choice among musicians worldwide, there's simply nothing that sings, screams, whispers, moans, shouts, rocks, and rolls like a Fender Stratocaster.
