A classic example of late-’70s Fender Stratocaster craftsmanship, the 1979 USA Strat gives you vintage sparkle and feel without being precious. It features ash body shred with the resonant snap of vintage single-coils, a bright maple neck that breaks in beautifully, and just enough rock-’n’-roll grit in its hardware quirks and aging finish. For players after that raw, authentic Strat tone, somewhere between blues and classic rock, this is one that carries heritage in every note.

The 1996 Fender Lone Star 50th Anniversary Strat brings together vintage Strat character with a rock-ready edge. Loaded with a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbucker at the bridge and Texas Special single coils in the middle and neck, it delivers punch, twang, and everything between. With a modern “C” maple neck, alder body, and commemorative 50th Anniversary touches (headstock sticker, special finishes), it’s a versatile, eye-catching instrument made for players who want Fender heritage with hotter tones.
