Description
The Fender Custom Shop 1957 Stratocaster NOS is a time capsule of vintage tone and craftsmanship, delivering the classic feel and sound of a late-'50s Strat with modern playability enhancements. Finished in a stunning 3-Tone Sunburst nitro lacquer, this Strat embodies the golden era of Fender innovation, built to the highest standards of the Custom Shop.
With a soft 'V' neck profile, 9.5" fingerboard radius, and narrow tall frets, this guitar offers the best of both worlds: a comfortable vintage-inspired grip with modern playability for effortless bends and articulation. The hand-wound 50s Strat pickups provide that quintessential bell-like chime and spanky midrange, with a 5-way selector switch allowing for a range of iconic Strat tones.
A lightweight two-piece alder body, vintage-style tremolo, and Fender-logo tuning machines ensure a truly authentic playing experience, while period-correct details like black Micarta dots and a '54-'60 headstock decal complete the look. Whether you're after smooth, glassy cleans or searing bluesy overdrive, this 1957 Stratocaster NOS is a true player's instrument, built to inspire.
