Fender 50th Anniversary American Stratocaster (2004)Published on 08/04/11 at 11:41
Fender is a great American classic guitar. They have been building guitars for over 50+ years now. They are just as an American icon as John Wayne or Elvis Presley. These guitars are to commemorate the years that Fender has been manufacturing the Strats. These guitars have been played by almost every musician in the world at one time or another. Fender has a reputation of soul and quality when it comes to there equipment. They have a great deal of respect by the brightest and the best in the business.

Fender has a reputation of soul and quality when it comes to there equipment. They have a great deal of respect by the brightest and the best in the business. There isn't much different with these guitars as the normal American made ones that you buy from just about any guitar shop. They have a commemorative back plate that shows the 50th Anny emblem. That is really the only difference. This is a great guitar but nothing special or new in any way or even a throw back.

SOUNDS

I love the look of the three tone sunburst Fender Strat. This guitar has a nice body paint on it that is pretty much the same as any other sunburst. These guitars do not change from any other Fender Stratocaster that anyone has ever played. This guitar will work in any environment. If you have played one American Fender Stratocaster than you know exactly how one sounds. The tone of this guitar is exquisite. They sound good with Fender amps and they sound goo with Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifiers as well as they sound with any Marshall. They sound just flat out amazing to me. There isn't too much variation of tone between Strats. They either sound like a Stratocatser or they sound like a Telecatser. You can definitely hear the difference. Something to be said about the original and you can get boutique all you want but the Fender Strat is still a staple in rock music. So the 50th Anny is a cool way to remember the first original rock guitar master.

OVERALL OPINION

These guitars were during a limited run. You can still find them pretty easily. I think they cost about the same as the regular standard Fender Strats. Either way they are a cool pickup and maybe worth more money later on down the road. If you can score one then I would suggest picking it up. They are great guitars and have a fantastic soul to them. Te 50th Anny neck plate on the back is a cool feature as well.

I have a Fender American Series 50th aniversary States.
22 frets and single micro coil original.
Model with a three vibrato bridges ink.
Wood sunburst. Beautiful varnish

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice and sharp at the CHAC is good.
Guitar very easy to handle.
In terms of sound, we'll see below.

SOUNDS

The problem is that the pickups are crappy backgrounds. To get the Start sound, I had to buy micro Vintage Noiseless and we regale. Okay, now I have a true micro vintage 1969 that I pay very expensive but it is not comparable.
I play a marshall tsl 401 a lamp. Christalin sound and a wish.

If you want a good sound, microphones chang. I pay 750 euros for the guitar OCCAZ. I think for the price of nine he could have put better pickups.

A small edit a few years later: still going strong! But I really do not understand why the two other opinions do not speak the same guitar: one speaks well of the 50th not the 40th, it can not be manufactured in the 90's, she always date of 2004! ! So stop talking nonsense!


Strat Us
key mapple 22 frets
Micro Texas Special 54 '
Vibrato Modern
Ash body 2 tone sunburst
Comes with a case siouplé tweed the most beautiful effect (certainly more than a good hefty house ...)!

UTILIZATION

Well, a jack, a receiver (light if possible), and one connects .... hop, magic, it sounds!
As we all know no need to dwell, this skyscraper is just an extension of the body of a guitar player...…

UTILIZATION

As we all know no need to dwell, this skyscraper is just an extension of the body of a guitar player who respects himself, could not be more pleasant! And the handle modern C provides fast wings!

SOUNDS

Good, I think that if there was better than 10 ....
Ds connect my classic 30, a 2 Guv'nor, a vox wha, "and after, most of the day j'decolle "!!!!
Simple, these microphones are just a speck texas mortal, my favorite position is the mic through a serious medium. I think I'm Rory!
The body of the ash scraper snapped sound as ever, casseroles ptites funky, happiness!
We soon found his account on this guitar. Acute attention to micro! He broke the ears, but what a pleasure ....
So, gentlemen of the bluesman, the funkimans the rocksmans also (no no no metal, finally, whatever), buy a machine back in 2004 it has been made this year, if not both feet!

OVERALL OPINION

Two me that I, I became a hermit, I'm just playing and playing!
Well of course I exaggerate, but looked good along g strat 'and I found!
She listed the small collector more, since it was made in 2004 for 50 years of Fender ...
Nothing to do with the deluxe, in my opinion too modern, with its switch and the whole mess!
I would do immediately obvious the same choice, this strat perfect blend all the sound and the vintage look with the comfort of the modern game.
So the 10 also, I try to be objective .....

In 2004 Fender has launched a series limit of guitars. This series is named after 50th anniversary. And this time it commemorates the 50th anniversary of the stratosphere!

It is factory pice in the U.S. with any of the materials of choice. As with all Stratos (except 50 ') option is available rosewood fingerboard.

The handle is in tune with standard Fender, you will not dstabiliss is a strat After all! It has 22 frets and a handle fast enough and very comfortable.

The electronics is composed of 3 micros simple one can better than standard Fender pickups.

Vibrato is a modern type with a holding of more than honorable agreement, I often do dive bombs with it! For the greatest misfortunes of my maker! , D

APRS is the proper standard Fender 3 tone knobs and a tone volume slecteur 5 positions.

UTILIZATION

The usage is exemplary, very easy to play and very comfortable. When I tired a Gibson handles turns with my Start or my JEM and is happiness.

CASC to acute and typical strat therefore very ais.

The weight is rather lev for a Start but it's not good either an anvil (not like my Kramer).

The sound is easily adjustable and can go from Blues to Funk, Rock, Hard Rock, metal APRS stop but it shows its limits (hey it even when a Start, D)

SOUNDS

Aha my chapter prfr This guitar is outstanding! It is made to sound. When the fate of his luxury box (large rectangular) is not a joke.

At the bridge pickup you get the typical sound of slamming strato as aseptically as a tl. Ideal to Funk. I can use it with treble with the tone as rglage on 3-4. It's really perfect for solos and rhythmic mchantes. (I play exclusively Mtal and Shred).

Microphones were central to a microphone mounted upside down for more typs of sounds and clapping. I love it.

Microphones to handle it's perfect for Blues and Shred. I couple the handle with the tone and the central 0 3-4. The sound is beautiful and full of wealth. Jadore.

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent guitar mle beautiful finish, quality of manufacture (and therefore reliability), quality sound!

This guitar will appreciate in value so it's time to buy.

What I like most: The sound, finish, reliability comfort.

What I like least: the price goes up, the lack of saturation of microphones that are single coils but that is normal!

I tried lots of stratos silent and that the by far the best. I remake that choice without hesitating!
