I'm sure this is something quite simple and I'm being naive, but here is the question. If the 50th Anniversary Stratocasters came out in 2004 (1954-2004), then how can there be a 60th Anniversay model in 2006?

Am I missing something? :oops: :cry:

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Do you have the little round badge on the back of the headstock?

Well, I am confused also.
My Am. strat is a 50th made in 1996 with a gold plate on the headstock
that reads 1946 to 1996 .50th .... I bought it used and I am as confused
as heck, Is it a standard, deluxe or what .. Any info for this would be appreciated.. :roll:

That would be Fender's 50th anniversary. Not sure what model it would be though.

My deluxe players has the 60th anniversary button on the headstock but i've heard they also have a 60th anniversary deal carved into the neckplate

I may be wrong on this but I think all of the guitars made on 07 (the 60th year) had the buttons, but only the designated "anniversary" models had the engraved neckplates.
