Description:
Coated in an NOS Flash Coat nitro lacquer finish, the Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster NOS beams like it just rolled off Leo Fender’s late-’50s Fullerton factory floor. All the hallmarks of a superb vintage Strat are here in full force, including a 2-piece select slab of alder for the body, a sturdy rift-sawn maple neck in a 1959 “C” profile, and a glassy AAA rosewood fingerboard.
One of this Strat’s few modern variations is its 7.25-inch to 9.5-inch compound radius — a spec that supplies uncompromisingly vintage-style chording comfort in the low positions while flattening out for cleaner bends up high. Three hand-wound ’59 Strat pickups grant you bell-like highs, round lows, and a remarkably touch-sensitive dynamic range.
You also get a vintage synchronized tremolo for classic Strat sway and shimmer and rock-solid, vintage-style slot-in machine heads to keep your tuning pitch perfect. Vintage correct with just the slightest touch of modern-minded performance, the Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster NOS is a testament to the timeless nature of Fender’s golden-age instruments.
