The Fender Stratocaster
40th Anniversary
2: California Sunburst
The end of the 50s heralded the advent of the Beat Group and the Stratocaster had not gone unnoticed in England. The Shadows and the instrumental era launched a thousand young bands and helped to establish the Strat sound in Europe.
Among the young hopefuls were Eric Clapton , Mark Knopfler , David Gilmour , George Harrison , Keith Richards and Ritchie
Blackmore. Although some of these stars dabbled with other instruments in their careers, all created musical milestones of their own with the Stratocaster.
