The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Five distinct pickup positions for the widest tonal range of any electric guitar design. Iconic contoured double-cutaway body that's comfortable for hours of playing. Tremolo system adding vibrato expression to every note. The design that shaped the sound of modern popular music.
Positions 2 and 4 on the 5-way switch are where the Strat magic lives - that glassy, bell-like quack is unlike anything else in the guitar world. Add a splash of spring reverb for instant inspiration.
The Stratocaster is the most versatile electric guitar ever designed - full stop. Five pickup positions cover every genre imaginable, the contoured body makes even marathon sessions comfortable, and that unmistakable Strat tone has been the soundtrack of popular music for seven decades. If you could only own one electric guitar, this design would be the smartest choice.

The Squier® 40th Anniversary Stratocaster®, Vintage Edition is a soulful tribute model trimmed with a collection of classic features for the retro-minded Squier enthusiast. Featuring aged chrome hardware, an anodized aluminum pickguard, a vintage-tinted maple neck, an engraved anniversary neck plate and satin finish throughout, this Strat® honors the heritage of the Squier catalog and its ancestry. Player-friendly refinements of this commemorative model include a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile for an easy playing feel, vintage-style tuning machines and 6-saddle synchronized tremolo bridge for authentic performance and style, and Fender-Designed single-coil pickups with alnico 5 magnets for familiar Strat tone.| Model Name | 40th Anniversary Stratocaster®, Vintage Edition, Maple Fingerboard, Gold Anodized Pickguard, Satin Sonic Blue |
