Fender Stratocaster

The Fender Strat is the all time classic of electric guitars. The original Stratocaster, as it was named, was designed and built in 1954 by Leo Fender, an amp and guitar maker in America. The design of the guitar was, and still is, revolutionary and we believe it owes its modernistic name to the then super-modern aircraft, the 'Stratocruiser'.

Despite its then outrageous appearance, the Fender Strat was a beautiful design and every new feature was there for a good reason. The Stratocaster's many nuances included a front and back contoured body that fitted the guitar player better than any other electric guitar available at the time, a double cutaway that would allow easy access to the high notes at the top of the guitar neck, also the top 'horn' on the body acted as a much better balancing point than the normal point on the body from which the strap is connected. The guitar would hang naturally on the strap at the correct angle for optimum playing access. There were three single-coil pickups which, by moving the selector switch to different points, would give an extremely wide variety of sounds previously unavailable. The neck, like on the Telecaster, which he invented several years earlier, had all machine heads on the top side, making tuning much easier. The Stratocaster's tremolo unit was also an incredible innovation and much more effective than any other unit at the time, in fact, in our opinion, to this day has never been surpassed.
This design was an inspiration and was very successful, being copied by many other electric guitar manufacturers.
Most guitarists from that age to this play a Strat of some kind or other, such names as Buddy Holly, Hank Marvin, Mark Knopfler, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton etc. Almost every guitarist imaginable plays a Strat and every feature mentioned above is still fitted as standard on the Squier Affinity Strat electric guitar that comes in this package.
