The Stratocaster, also known only as “Strato, ” is a Fender electric guitar model designed in the 1950s but still manufactured today. She became famous after passing the hands of Jimi Hendrix and Rory Gallagher in the 1960s.

The company recently opened the doors of its plant in Corona, California, and posted the video above - in which you can see how this guitar is produced step by step. Contrary to popular belief, Stratocaster has a lot of manual work to do.
