The first known Fender Stratocaster dates back to the spring of 1954, and the manufacturers are celebrating the instrument's 70th anniversary in the way that most music-related anniversaries are celebrated these days: through commerce, and a range of guitars that trumpet "seven decades of timeless tone and iconic style".
They've also made a video, in which a number of well-known endorsers of the Stratocaster shred their way through an instrumental cover of Jimi Hendrix's psychedelic classic Voodoo Chile (Slight Return).
