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 oxidation.
- Soft V - 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.
- Pine Body - Originally used by Fender in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, this super lightweight tonewood is famed for its rounded tone, rich resonance and beautifully harmonic overtones.
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.
