Fender Stratocaster
The Fender Stratocaster guitar was introduced in 1954, and has been one of the most recognisable electric guitars ever since.
Pop and rock legends have consistently turned to this iconic instrument, and it has been the main driving force behind the sound of countless bands.Buddy Holly borrowed money from his brother to buy his first Strat in 1954, and millions of fans since are still so glad that he did.
Jimi Hendrix chose the Strat as his instrument, even though he had to play it upside down, and reverse the strings. The sounds and effects that he managed to extract from his instrument, have been copied by thousands of guitarists since.
