Comet Burst Finish

The exclusive Comet Burst finish is a showstopper – a dynamic blend of deep blues and purples that shimmer and shift in different lighting. This limited-edition color was created specifically for the 70th Anniversary celebration and won’t be available after this commemorative year. The gloss polyester finish not only looks stunning but also protects the alder body while allowing it to resonate naturally.

V-Mod II Pickup Technology

At the heart of this Stratocaster are Fender’s proprietary V-Mod II single-coil pickups. These aren’t your grandfather’s Strat pickups – they’re voiced for modern players while maintaining vintage character. Each pickup is uniquely voiced for its position: the bridge delivers cutting clarity, the middle provides balanced tone, and the neck offers warm, smooth sounds. Together, they create the most versatile Stratocaster tone palette Fender has ever produced.

Modern Playability

The Deep C neck profile strikes the perfect balance – substantial enough to feel like a real guitar, slim enough for fast playing and comfortable chording. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck eliminates stickiness, allowing your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard. Combined with narrow tall frets and a 9.5″ radius fingerboard, this guitar plays as good as it looks.

Every guitar at Vera Guitars receives professional inspection and setup by our expert luthiers. This 70th Anniversary Stratocaster arrives ready to play with optimal action, perfect intonation, and dialed-in tone. We ensure you get the full American Professional II experience right out of the case.
