Product Description
Key Features
- NOS - One of the most popular finish options in the Fender Custom Shop. A New Old Stock guitar looks exactly how it would have looked the day it left the factory however many years ago. It’s as close to having a time machine as we can offer!
- AA-Grade Flamed Maple Neck - The breathtakingly beautiful AA-grade Flamed Maple Neck helps put this expertly crafted Custom Shop Strat in a class of its own.
- Ebony Fingerboard - Often found on the most prestigious classical stringed instruments this prestigious tonewood offers premium aesthetics with a rich, articulate and resonant tonality.
- Contoured Heel - Effortlessly transition between the first position up to the dusty end thanks to this (model) contoured neck heel.
Custom Shop Fat ‘60s Pickups
Designed and made by the Fender Custom Shop, the Fat ‘60s Stratocaster pickups perfectly capture the highly desired articulate vintage ‘60s Strat tone but with a few updated tweaks. Made using period-correct fibre bobbins, cloth wire, Alnico II magnets, and Formvar magnet wire, these pickups provide authentic vintage Strat tones that are rich in dynamics with a bell-like character. They have been overwound for extra bite and more power in the low-end and the middle pickup is RWRP for no noise in positions 2 and 4.
