Product Description
The Fender Custom Shop produce more than just the best of the best guitars made by Fender. They represent the highest level of quality and attention to detail, considering the tiniest aspects in the finish, to extraordinary expressions in tone. Here at Andertons, we have the largest collections of Fender Custom Shop guitars in Europe for you to choose from.
Key Features
- Nitrocellulose Lacquer – A stunningly precise finish that will age with time just like if you bought this guitar back in 1963.
- Josefina Hand-Wound ‘63 Pickups – A hand-wound legacy packed with an enriched character of the early ‘63. Josefina encompasses the original tones you would expect from a ’59 Strat whilst enriching the versatility in tone that is unique to this guitar.
- Comfortable Playability – Perfectly balanced and a soft “V” shape neck supports you playing funky chords, clean riffs, or crunchy leads on a stunning Rosewood fretboard.
Custom Shop Treatment
What a remarkable recreation of a’63 Stratocaster featuring a Taos Turquoise finish, representing everything classic about the Strat with a like new finish you would have received from the factory line back in the day. The Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster is instantly recognisable as one of the most popular vintage guitars in the world. There is just something special about this timeless classic that draws you in.
Nitrocellulose Finish
The desirable NOS finish brings this custom shop to life, giving you an instrument that will age over time for you to create a story of your own. The idea behind a Nitrocellulose finish gives you a Custom Shop Fender akin to one you could have bought from the factory line back in the glory days of guitar innovation.
Hand Wound Josefina Pickups
The Josefina Hand-Wound ’63 single coil pickups really make this timeless workhorse sing. These hot pickups are the legacy at the heart of this guitar. Having been crafted with the knowledge passed down by Leo Fender himself, they deliver a vintage hot tone and dynamic range you would find on a ‘63 Strat, with enriched bass, punchy mid-tones, and glassy highs for a sonically clear experience that is like no other. These pickups capture that vintage versatility you would hope to find in a Fender Strat.
