Product Description
Key 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 oxidisation.
- Unique Tonewoods – A super lightweight Eastern White Pine body provides well-rounded harmonic character, complemented by a striking AAA Flame Maple Neck and an Ebony-esque African Blackwood fretboard.
- 9.50” Radius - Fender’s modern fingerboard radius favoured by many for its comfort and versatility.
’57-style Soft ‘V’ Neck
Favoured by many of the greats, the Soft ‘V’ is the perfect neck for players who like to feel the neck but still want the comfort of a more rounded neck profile. This Strat comes with a ’57-Style Soft ‘V’, topped off with a 9.5’’ radius and fretted with 6105 frets offering the perfect blend of vintage and modern.
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.
