Comments | This has just arrived – a 1990 Fender Signature Edition 59 Stratocaster, in really great condition. With all original hardware and very little wear, this reproduction of a 1959 model is a great deal.
Leo Fender introduced the Stratocaster in 1954 as a step up from his wildly successful Telecaster, and both guitars have been in constant production. Originally built with a one-piece maple neck, in 1959 models started appearing with rosewood fingerboards. This wonderful example features a translucent white finish and single-layer pickguard and backplate. It plays quite well and has a rich yet glassy tone. |
Serial Number | SE04111, built during 1990 at the Fender plant in Corona, California. The SE serial number prefix denotes the Signature Edition (introduced in 1982), and the 0 indicates 1990. |
