About Fender Stratocaster: Fender has touched and transformed music worldwide and in nearly every genre. The Stratocaster first appeared in 1954, incorporating many design innovations based on feedback from professional musicians, Fender staff and Leo Fender himself. Its third single-coil pickup offered more tonal possibilities, its sleekly contoured body made it more comfortable, and its double cutaway design made access to upper registers much easier. Most important, however, was the addition of the new Fender vibrato (or "tremolo") bridge, an innovation originally intended to let guitarists bend strings.

Essentially unchanged since its 1954 debut, the Stratocaster is the most popular and influential electric guitar ever, and players at all levels and in all genres continue to rely on its sound, playability and versatility.
