Fender 50th Anniversary American Vintage '57 Stratocaster – 2007 Mary Kaye
"She’s 50, flawless, and still pulling more attention than your entire Tinder profile."
 
Let’s just be real: this Strat is a certified MILF—Mary I’d Like to Fret. Built in 2007 to celebrate Fender’s 50th anniversary of the American Vintage line, this is the '57 reissue you didn’t know you needed until now. And yes, she’s dressed to kill in that iconic Mary Kaye white blonde finish with enough gold hardware to make Mr. T blush.
 
But don’t let the glam fool you—this Strat rips. The V-shaped maple neck feels like it was sanded down by angels with calluses, and the trio of vintage-style pickups can go from glassy clean to garage-smashing grit faster than you can say “Leo Fender was a wizard.”
The finish has aged like a fine bottle of whiskey you definitely can’t afford, and the gold’s got just the right amount of patina so you don’t look like you bought this off the wall at Guitar Center last week. No, this one's got vibes—mojo baked in from day one.
 
Includes the OHSC (Original Hardcase of Sweet Classiness), and enough elegance to make your Les Paul jealous.
 
Buy it before someone else’s midlife crisis beats you to it.
