Fender Stratocaster
Legendary electric guitar
A Fender Stratocaster is an electric guitar model introduced in 1954, known for its contoured body, three pickups, and tremolo arm.
The Strat, as it's commonly called, became one of the most influential and widely copied guitar designs in rock, blues, and pop music: He played a vintage Stratocaster through a cranked amp.
