Description
When 1959 arrived, the Fender Stratocaster underwent several changes, now featuring slab rosewood fingerboards, clay dot inlays, and three-layer nitrate pickguards. This Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster embraces those modifications, boasting a slew of classic appointments that make it an old-school guitar buff's dream come true. For fans of early-year Fenders seeking a world-class replica, the Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster is an absolute must.
The master artisans at the Fender Custom Shop built this Strat with a 2-piece alder body and a rift-sawn maple neck, giving it a bright, snappy sound. Its '59 Esquire "C" neck is nice and rounded, while its AAA rosewood fingerboard has a rich, dark appearance and a pleasantly smooth feel. Medium vintage frets, vintage tuners, and a genuine bone nut round out the neck, enhancing this model's tuning stability and playability.
Three hand-wound '59 Strat pickups faithfully capture the authentic sound of a late '50s Fender. These single-coils have a warm, round, and sweet tone with that unmistakable Stratocaster clarity, making them great for any style or setting. With each note, you get the perfect blend of shimmering highs and full-bodied lows, delivering the timeless Strat sound in every strum.
Shipped in a brown hardshell case that complements this model's Faded Aged Sonic Blue finish, the Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster is a visually stunning instrument. Get in touch today for a personal walkthrough of this extraordinary Fender Custom Shop guitar!
