'94 ST54-150AS "40th Anniversary" (#S002916)

Limited production of the 40th Anniversary model of the 1954 Stratocaster.
Equipped with DiMarzio Blue Velvet pickups that faithfully reproduce the vintage sound!

Decal is attached as a proof of "Custom Edition".

The matt-finish body is made of light ash, with an oil-finished neck and an aluminum pickguard, which was used for a very short period of time on the Strauts.
