To celebrate 60 years of Fender in 2006, a commemorative limited edition 60th diamond anniversary guitar was released.

Collectible limited edition strat built to commemorate the 60th 'Diamond' Anniversary in 2006.

The USA 60th Anniversary Strat combines old-school Fender style and tone with new-school thinking in a one-of-a-kind way. The first of those features is a set of three American Original '57/'62 Strat Pickups with the middle pickup reverse wound and reverse polarity. It's the first time Fender has ever done that trick with these more-vintage-than-vintage pickups, which have the original-style staggered, bevelled-edge Alnico 5 magnets and Formvar magnet wire.

Combine that with the Delta Tone wiring–which features a no-load tone control for the middle and bridge pickups – and this axe is capable of scorching vintage tones. Delta-Tone wiring is an old Fender trick for producing just a bit more midrange and hotter output from the Strat. The no-load tone pot works like a standard tone knob from positions one-to-nine, but at ten it is removed from the wiring completely so that you get the full, unadulterated sonic output of your pickup. It means more output and more treble without using a booster pedal or active controls.

An Alder body, medium-profile Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard, American two-point tremolo with stainless steel saddles, pearloid fretboard dots, plus parchment knobs and pickup covers complete the 60th anniversary package.
