What is Second Hand?
Product Description
Experience the vintage vibe with a modern twist in this exceptional second-hand Fender Custom Shop 2023 1959 Stratocaster Hardtail in Sonic Blue.
Meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the iconic '59 model, this guitar features a stunning Time Capsule finish that not only looks vintage but also incorporates a flash coat, which helps to accelerate the ageing process. This innovative finish ensures the guitar develops a beautifully authentic wear and patina over time, offering a true vintage aesthetic from day one.
Handcrafted by Fender's custom shop luthiers, it boasts period-correct appointments, including a 1959 ‘D’ neck profile, vintage-style hardware, and period-correct pickups. Equipped with high-quality HW pickups, it delivers the warm, rich, and expressive tone characteristic of the '59 Strat, making it perfect for both studio and stage performances.
The vintage-style hardtail bridge provides increased sustain and stability, offering a straightforward playing experience without the tremolo system. Having been carefully maintained, this guitar is in good condition with light signs of use, a few minor marks around the body and the frets are in almost as new shape, and it’s setup just as it should be to Factory spec, making it a fantastic choice for collectors and players alike. This Second Hand Fender Custom Shop Strat was built in 2023 and comes with its original hardcase, certificate, travel sheet & case candy.
The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster combines vintage authenticity with innovative finishing techniques, ensuring it will only become more charming with age. Whether you're a collector or a serious musician, this awesome Time Capsule Strat promises timeless sound and aesthetic appeal.
