✦内容简介——

Fender Stratocaster® 吉他永远存在于音乐世界中，它也是流行文化的标志，其迷人的线条和创新的功能在今天仍具有前瞻性，一如里奥-芬德（Leo Fender）在 1954 年向世界推出这款吉他时一样。

在《Fender Stratocaster® 70 Years》一书中，音乐家兼吉他历史学家戴夫-亨特（Dave Hunter）从里奥-芬德（Leo Fender）在加利福尼亚州富勒顿（Fullerton）的简陋小店开始，追溯了 Stratocaster® 吉他跨越七十年的发展历程。从那时起，亨特开始探索：

• 在当代吉他市场和 Fender 现有的 Telecaster® 吉他的背景下，新设计的突破性特点。
• Stratocaster 的实身三拨片配置、“tremolo ”琴桥、螺栓固定琴颈和轮廓琴身，以及乡村弹拨乐手在吉他早期发展中所扮演的角色。
• Stratocaster 在最初的十年中不断改进设计，如引入黑檀木指板和定制颜色选项，以补充最初的 Sunburst 烤漆。
• CBS 1965 年对 Fender 的收购及其对公司文化和 Stratocaster 的影响，以及 1985 年由一群员工带头对 Fender 的收购。
• Fender Custom Shop 的创建以及多年来该精英团队与 Stratocaster 的关系。
• Fender 以前瞻性思维将复古规格和材料与现代功能相结合，使 Stratocaster 吉他兼具经典造型和现代便利性。

此外，亨特还介绍了 Stratocaster 在当代吉他行业中不断发展的背景，并展示了几十年来受人钦佩的演奏家与这把吉他之间的关系，其中包括杰夫-贝克（Jeff Beck）、埃里克-克莱普顿（Eric Clapton）、迪克-戴尔（Dick Dale）、吉米-亨德里克斯（Jimi Hendrix）、翁格维-马尔姆斯泰恩（Yngwie Malmsteen）、邦妮-莱特（Bonnie Raitt）、史蒂夫-雷-沃恩（Stevie Ray Vaughan）、巴迪-盖伊（Buddy Guy）和 H.E.R.等等！

Fender Stratocaster® 经常被模仿，但从未被复制，70 多年过去了，它仍然是设计上的一个胜利。这是关于这款吉他的官方权威图解故事，也是每位吉他爱好者的不可或缺的读物。

Authoritatively written and lavishly illustrated, Fender Stratocaster® 70 Years is the officially licensed anniversary celebration of this legendary guitar.

Ever present in the music world, the Fender Stratocaster® guitar is also an icon of popular culture, its attractive lines and innovative features as forward-looking today as they were when Leo Fender introduced the guitar to the world in 1954.

In Fender Stratocaster® 70 Years, musician and guitar historian Dave Hunter traces Stratocaster® guitars across seven decades and into the present, beginning with Leo Fender’s triumph of mid-century design originating in his modest shop in Fullerton, California. From there, Hunter explores:

· Groundbreaking features of the new design in the context of the contemporary guitar market and Fender’s existing Telecaster® guitar.

· The Stratocaster’s solidbody three-pickup configuration, “tremolo” bridge, bolt-on neck, and contoured body, as well as the roles that country pickers played in the guitar’s early development.

· Design improvements undertaken throughout the Stratocaster’s first decade, such as the introduction of a rosewood fingerboard and Custom Color options to complement the initial Sunburst finish.

· CBS’s 1965 acquisition of Fender and its effects on company culture and the Stratocaster, as well as the 1985 acquisition of Fender spearheaded by a group of employees.

· The creation of the Fender Custom Shop and that elite group’s relationship to the Stratocaster over the years.

· Fender’s forward-thinking combination of vintage specs and materials with modern features in Stratocaster guitars that offer classic styling and current conveniences.

Along the way, Hunter contextualizes the evolving Stratocaster within the contemporary guitar industry and shows the relationships that admired players throughout the decades have enjoyed with this guitar, including Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Dick Dale, Jimi Hendrix, Yngwie Malmsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, and H.E.R.—to name a few!

Illustrated throughout with rare images from the Fender archives, Fender Stratocaster 70 Years® treats readers to rare behind-the-scenes views of the shop floor and Custom Shop throughout the years, studio imagery of the guitars, rare period advertising and brochures, and performance images of Fender players.

Often imitated but never duplicated, the Fender Stratocaster® remains a triumph of design more than seven decades on. This is the official and definitive illustrated story of this guitar—and a must-have for every guitar enthusiast.
