Description
Experience the raw, rockin' sound of the Fender Custom Shop 1958 Stratocaster NOS, a top-notch tribute to the iconic 1958 Stratocaster. This model marked the final year of the original one-piece maple neck before Fender transitioned to using glued-on slab rosewood fingerboards, altering the classic look and feel of their guitars. Perfect for vintage Strat enthusiasts, this guitar embodies the timeless charm of the 58 models, with an NOS finish that makes it look like a flawlessly preserved Fender from the late 50s.
The Custom Shop 1958 Stratocaster sports a two-piece select alder body, giving it a bright, punchy tone with exceptional sustain and a sharp attack. But it's not just about the tonewoods - this model is a tried and true player. Its one-piece plain maple neck features a comfortable 54 Soft V profile, a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard, and 21 narrow-tall frets, ensuring smooth playability across all registers.
This model boasts a trio of Custom Shop 58 Stratocaster pickups designed to capture the original late 50s Strat sound. These single-coils deliver a rich vintage tone characterized by deep, resonant lows and bright, chiming highs. Guitarists will also love the reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup that helps eliminate hum when combined with the neck and bridge pickups, providing a cleaner overall tone.
The Fender Custom Shop 1958 Stratocaster NOS comes complete with vintage-style tuners, a genuine bone nut, and a stunning 3 Tone Sunburst finish, making it ideal for musicians seeking an authentic, vintage-inspired Stratocaster experience.
Enhance your collection with the Fender Custom Shop 1958 Stratocaster NOS - a true masterpiece for discerning guitarists who appreciate the legendary quality and tone of Fender's golden era.
