The ultra-cool left handed '68 Stratocaster recalls a landmark year as exciting and tumultous as the music it produced. The Alder body has a 3-ply White pickguard; the C-shaped maple neck has Black dot position inlays and a 7.25 in.-radius separate laminated Maple fingerboard with 21 frets, topped by a large '60s-style headstock. Other features include 3 reissue single-coil Strat pickups, chrome hardware, Fender/Schaller vintage 'F'-style tuning machines and a vintage-style tremolo bridge.
