Pre-Owned Fender 60th Anniversary Classic Player '50s Stratocaster – Desert Sand

Pre-Owned Fender 60th Anniversary Classic Player '50s Stratocaster with Hard Shell Case – Vintage style meets modern performance

A golden tribute to the world’s most iconic electric guitar

Released to celebrate the diamond anniversary of the Stratocaster, the 60th Anniversary Classic Player '50s Stratocaster captures the magic of the 1950s with modern upgrades for today’s players. This special model features a Desert Sand gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish paired with gold hardware and a one-ply gold anodized aluminum pickguard for a stunning vintage aesthetic. Made in Mexico, this Stratocaster pays tribute to Fender’s roots while offering the playability and tone that modern guitarists demand.

Classic '50s design with smooth playability

This Stratocaster features a soft "V" shaped maple neck with a vintage-style heel-end truss rod adjustment, finished in gloss nitro for a slick feel and classic look. The 9.5" radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets strikes a balance between vintage feel and modern comfort, making bends and fast runs easy without sacrificing that classic Strat vibe.

American Vintage pickups for authentic Strat tone

Loaded with a trio of Original '57/'62 American Vintage Strat single-coil pickups, this guitar delivers bell-like chime, sparkling highs, and the signature scooped midrange that defines the early Strat sound. With five-way switching and traditional Stratocaster wiring, it offers a versatile palette of tones suited for blues, rock, surf, country, and more.

Upgraded hardware with vintage flair

The two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with vintage-style stamped steel saddles provides smooth action and tuning stability, while vintage-style locking tuners ensure reliable performance with a nod to classic design. The gold hardware and aged white plastic controls add subtle aging detail that gives this guitar an elegantly broken-in look right out of the case.

Collector-worthy with premium accessories included

In addition to the guitar’s premium construction and tone, this pre-owned model includes a Pro Series hard-shell tweed case and a special commemorative book—making it a desirable piece for both collectors and performers. This is more than a reissue—it’s a celebration of six decades of tone and craftsmanship.
