Description
Fender's Custom 1963 Stratocaster pays homage to the Strats of yesteryear, and it's a stunning vintage-inspired guitar. Featuring a trio of hand-wound Fat '60s pickups, a gorgeous Sherwood Green Metallic finish, and outstanding relicing, this guitar is perfect for players seeking a premium Fender Strat that oozes old-school mojo.
This beauty starts with a two-piece alder body that delivers a bright, balanced tone with pronounced upper mids, excellent sustain, and a sharp attack. Its '63 "C" shaped quartersawn maple neck fits the hand like a glove, and its round lam rosewood fingerboard and 21 narrow tall frets play exceptionally well.
Hand-wound Fat '60s pickups give this Stratocaster a dynamic '60s tone, with deep lows and spankin' highs. The reverse-wound middle pickup allows for noiseless operation in positions 2 and 4, and the modified #2 wiring (makes tone #1 adjust the neck and middle pickups and tone #2 adjust the bridge pickup with a treble bleed) gives this Strat an extensive sonic palette.
Complete with a deluxe hardshell case, a custom strap, and a certificate of authenticity, this Fender Custom 1963 Stratocaster is the ideal guitar for players who want a top-of-the-line Strat dripping with vintage charm.
