A smaller, 16-inch-bodied take on the Rancher formula from the pre-Fender years, the Sweet Sixteen was offered in 2002 and 2003 in several colors. The BK was the black version. All Sweet Sixteen models featured a solid spruce top, maple back and sides, the traditional Rancher triangular soundhole, multiple layers of binding and X-bracing. Color choices mirrored the Hot Rod models of the time. Aside from the BK, other choices were Natural, Purple, Regal Blue, Tangerine, Anniversary Two-Tone Green, Gretsch Orange, Tobacco Sunburst and Candy Apple Red.
