Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster UNC

Guitar style linked to players such as Michael Jordan.

Since this Classic Series '50s Stratocaster from Fender in Daphne Blue is the closest thing to Carolina Blue (as featured on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill logos), I went to the UNC Student Store and grabbed an assortment of decals in order to embellish the instrument.

Fender's Classic Series '50s Stratocaster sports a classic '50s vibe. In the era of diners and cars with fins, the Strat was king of solidbody electric guitars. Still is. The comfort-contoured alder body, the soft V tinted maple neck, the single-ply pickguard with three single-coil pickups, the vintage-style vibrato; it's all there and dressed in a gorgeous, period-correct nitrocellulose laquer finish. If smooth playability, eye-poppin' vintage looks, and legendary spank and sparkle are on your guitar gotta-have list, check out a Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster.
