Why This Strat?
The 1994 American Special is a "sleeper" favorite among collectors. While every Strat made in '94 had the anniversary plate, very few featured the Lipstick Red finish combined with the Custom Shop Texas Special pickups straight from the factory. It’s a professional-grade instrument with a unique place in Fender history.
