Product Description
Blending classic looks and vintage tones with a sprinkling of modern playability, the Fender Custom Shop 55 Stratocaster Time Capsule in Aged White Blonde is the perfect choice for those after a vintage-styled workhorse that's built to perform.
Featuring a trio of hand-wound ‘55 Strat pickups, this Strat captures the vibes and tones of the mid ‘50s and classic sounds that helped cement the iconic voice of the world's most famous electric guitar. With its ’54 U-shaped neck profile partnered with its compound 7.25”-9.5” radius, this Strat has an old-school chunky feel but with a fingerboard that supports faster, more complex playing styles – a perfect middle ground for players wanting to do it all.
Original Woods
Fender's original wood combination of an Ash body paired with a Maple neck. The Ash provides a sweet and resonant, well-balanced guitar tone which is brilliantly complemented by the brightness and responsiveness of the maple neck.
Fender Custom Shop
The Fender Dream Factory… Fender’s best luthiers, using the best materials and tools all under one roof with the single unified mission of building the best guitars that Fender has ever produced. Founded in 1987, the Custom Shop was established to take Fender’s manufacturing back to its roots with smaller production numbers and higher quality. Famed for pushing Leo's designs to their absolute limits, the Custom Shop is the benchmark to which all other Fender electric guitars are compared to!
Features
- Time Capsule - Fender’s Time Capsule portrays a vintage instrument in near-new condition. There is no real ageing, but its NOS Lacquer has lost some of its sheen, and some parts of the metal hardware show slight oxidation.
- ‘54 U - The classic baseball bat Stratocaster neck. Its chunky yet comfortable neck profile allows players to really hold on to the guitar neck and feel connected to the instrument up and down its scale length.
- Compound Radius - With its rounder 7.25’’ radius by the nut and flatter 9.5’’ radius from the 12th fret, this 56 Strat offers maximum comfort up and down the neck.
