THE INSTRUMENT
FENDER STRATOCASTER / Leo Fender (1954)
A shape and a sound. The Stratocaster is a legend of design and musical innovation. Conceived by Leo Fender, it stands out with its sculpted, ergonomic body, designed for ultimate comfort. Its three single-coil pickups and revolutionary tremolo system opened the door to entirely new sonic possibilities, blending crystal-clear tones with expressive power.
Inspired by the curves and colors of 1950s American cars, the Strat has transcended generations to become the instrument of choice for the greatest names in Blues and Rock—from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and countless others.
