Fender '97 Collector's Edition Stratocaster Preowned 1997

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Includes Hardshell Case

The Fender ’97 Collector’s Edition Stratocaster celebrates classic early-’60s Strat styling with a deluxe twist. Built in the USA and produced in a limited run of 1,997 instruments, it pairs an ash body and gloss 3-color sunburst finish with vintage-style hardware and appointments for a truly timeless look and feel. Under the hood, a trio of Texas Special single-coils delivers that unmistakable Fender spank, with extra midrange punch and presence that cuts beautifully in a mix.

With its comfortable maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and 21 vintage-style frets, this Strat feels instantly familiar to anyone who loves traditional S-style guitars. A 6-screw tremolo bridge offers classic Strat vibrato response, while the SSS pickup layout and 5-way selector give you all the expected glassy neck tones, scooped “in-between” sounds, and biting bridge sparkle. For players chasing a collectible Strat that’s built to be played as hard as it’s admired, the ’97 Collector’s Edition is a standout choice.

This 1997-built guitar is in great condition, with minimal playwear and a couple of very small dings. It's got a great feel, with a loud and rich unplugged tone that translates beautifully when plugged-in. It's wonderfully playable too, and delivers classic 60's Strat tones in spades! Includes original hardshell case.
