Fender Squier - 40th Anniversary Stratocaster Gold Edition - Lake Placid Blue
Please note: Due to a circumstance out of our control, the tremolo bar of this instrument is silver with black tip, rather than gold like the rest of the instrument's hardware. We have attached an additional picture of the guitar in store to show this.
