Fender's Custom Shop 1957 Stratocaster is an excellent guitar that pays tribute to the golden era of rock 'n' roll. With its hand-wound Fat '50s pickups, gorgeous relic-job, and eye-catching Super Faded Aged Shell Pink finish, this axe is ideal for vintage guitar lovers seeking a one-of-a-kind Strat.
This Stratocaster features a two-piece alder body, giving it a classic sound with punchy upper mids and spankin' highs. Its '57 style soft "V" shaped quartersawn maple neck feels great for everything from chording to soloing, and its road-worn maple fingerboard plays like a dream. Players will love this Strat's Fat '50s single-coil pickups that deliver a stellar array of timeless, chiming tones. Equipped with Alnico V magnets, Formvar-coated wire, fiber bobbins, and other vintage appointments, this Custom Shop churns out glassy highs and rich, warm lows, giving it a fantastic old-school sound. And thanks to hot-rodded wiring that allows for higher output and an enhanced bass response, this guitar is a bonafide tone machine.
Complete with a deluxe hardshell case for safe and easy transport, this Fender Custom Shop 1957 Stratocaster is a wonderful vintage-inspired guitar.
