    Fender Stratocaster

    Electric guitar model

    Electric guitar

    Introduced by Fender in 1954, the Stratocaster is one of the most influential and widely imitated electric guitars ever made. Its contoured double-cutaway solid body, bolt-on maple neck, three single-coil pickups with a five-way selector, and synchronized vibrato bridge produce a bright, articulate voice that has shaped rock, blues, pop, surf, and country. Players from Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton and David Gilmour built signature tones on it, and the design has anchored Fender's line for seven decades.

  • Harmony Stratotone

    Early neck-through solid-body electric guitar

    Electric guitar

    An early American solid-body electric guitar from the Chicago maker Harmony, launched in 1952 - only two years after the Fender Broadcaster. The H44 Stratotone used a clever neck-through body with glued-on wings and a single pickup to keep costs down, and was played by Ritchie Valens and Carl Perkins.
