The American 60th Anniversary Strat’s other special touches bring together old-school Fender style and tone with new-school thinking in a one-of-a-kind way. The first of those features is a set of three American Original ‘57/’62 Strat Pickups with the middle pickup reverse wound and reverse polarity. It’s the first time Fender has ever done that trick with these more-vintage-than-vintage pickups, which have the original-style staggered, beveled-edge Alnico 5 magnets and Formvar magnet wire.
Combine that with the Delta Tone wiring–which features a no-load tone control for the middle and bridge pickups–and this axe is capable of scorching vintage tones. Delta-Tone wiring is an old Fender trick for producing just a bit more midrange and hotter output from the Strat. The no-load tone pot works like a standard tone knob from positions one-to-nine, but at ten it is removed from the wiring completely so that you get the full, unadulerated sonic output of your pickup. It means more output and more treble without using a booster pedal or active controls. An American two-point trem with stainless steel saddles, pearloid fretboard dots, plus parchment knobs and pickup covers complete the 60th anniversary package.
This Guitar has been Very Lightly Played and is in Mint - Excellent Condition. Plastic wrap is still on the pick guard and rear cover. Like I said this Guitar is mint showroom. Barely Played at all. This is a one owner Machine, a 50ish year old man.
