Fender 40th Anniversary Stratocaster Caribbean Mist 1994

Here for sale we have a Fender 40th Anniversary Stratocaster in Caribbean Mist finish. Made in the USA in 1994, this guitar celebrated Fenders 40 year anniversary with a commemorative medallion on the headstock and a special engraved neck plate. This guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 21 fret Maple fingerboard. Nickel​/​Chrome hardware is fitted, including a 2-point tremolo bridge and a set of Fender sealed tuning machines. A trio of Fender Single-Coil pickups are installed, and are wired to a 5-way blade switch, master volume, neck tone and bridge​/​middle tone controls. The Maple neck plays very well, with Fender' popular Modern 'C' profile filling the hand nicely for a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. Moderately-sized, the neck feels practical for both chordal and melodic playing styles and provides easy reach for those tricky chord voicings and big stretches. The Maple of the fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, providing the look of Maple whilst possessing a tighter grain for a durable playing surface which will surely stand the test of time. The smooth lines and generous cutaways of the Stratocaster body are as comfortable in the arms as ever whilst providing unrestricted access to the upper frets. The trio of Fender Single-Coil pickups in this guitar provide all of the chime and articulation that made the Stratocaster a legendary instrument. Crystalline and bell-like, the pickups provide a crisp and clear tone with plenty of the spank that you would expect from a Strat. Understated lows give way to a smooth mid range and singing high frequencies that will cut through any mix. The traditional Stratocaster control layout is as functional as ever, offering comprehensive control of your sound without being intrusive.

The fingerboard edges demonstrate light infrequent indentation and consistent wearing of the finish. None of these markings affect playability. Light delamination is present to the fingerboard, this is most noticeable to the 12th fret. Overall very good condition, all aspects of the body demonstrate light scratching and indentation. The most notable of these are apparent to the center of the lower bout and the bass side of the lower bout front face which pierce the finish.
