Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Strat - Chocolate 3 Color Sunburst


$4,350.00
SKU R135934

The Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster® sports both a flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard and a Chocolate Three-Color Sunburst as well as some other cool and rare features from the Stratocaster's formative years. The flash-coat lacquer finish lets the guitar breathe more freely and organically for singing sustain and warm tone. The neck features a vintage 7.25"-9.5" compound radius, which Fender found on some rare examples, giving it a unique feel even among vintage-inspired models. It also features medium vintage frets, which are slightly larger than regular vintage and very comfortable to play. Other features found on this guitar include a 2-piece select alder body, tinted rift-sawn maple neck with '59 "C"-shaped neck profile, 21 medium vintage frets, Custom Shop hand-wound '59 Strat® single-coil pickups, 5-way switch, vintage wiring, 3-ply mint green nitrocellulose pickguard, American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, bone nut, wing string tree and vintage-style tuning machines. Includes a deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
