Fender American Series Stratocaster (2004, USA) – 50th Anniversary Neck Plate – Cream Finish

This beautifully aged 2004 Fender American Series Stratocaster delivers everything players love about early-2000s USA Strats — smooth playability, classic tones, and rock-solid build quality. Made in Fender’s Corona, California factory, this instrument was built during the brand’s 50th Anniversary year and comes fitted with the commemorative 50th Anniversary neck plate used on all American-made Strats from 2004.

Finished in an aged Olympic White / Cream, paired with a bold black pickguard, it has a timeless, vintage-inspired look. A tasteful pin-up decal adds character but can be removed on request before sale.
