Stratocaster (serial no. 0105)
1954
Fender
This mint-condition Stratocaster is one of the first ever built. The model introduced a sleek modernistic design -- featuring asymmetrical cutaways and a body contoured on the front and back -- and a "synchronized tremolo" vibrato system, in which a fully adjustable bridge is routed through the body rather than mounted on the top. The Stratocaster was adopted by many early rock and rollers, from Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens to Dick Dale. |
