The Fender Stratocaster first appeared in 1954 and incorporated many design innovations based on feedback from professional musicians, Fender staff, and Leo Fender himself. The Strat's third single-coil pickup offered more tonal possibilities than the two on the Tele, and its sleekly contoured body made it more comfortable. The double-cutaway design of the Stratocaster made access to upper registers much easier.
