Fender Custom Shop Classic HBS-1 Stratocaster | Black *Used*
Custom '69 & Seymour Duncan JB Pickups - 9.5" Fingerboard Radius - Medium Jumbo Frets
The Fender Custom Shop Classic HBS-1 Stratocaster from the Time Machine series is a high-end, team-built guitar that combines vintage aesthetics with modern versatility. It features a lightweight two-piece premium ash body, a comfortable '57 Soft "V" maple neck, and Custom '69 single-coil pickups alongside a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker for a wide tonal range. With a push/push S-1 switch, master tone, and neck pickup blend control, players can access a variety of sounds, from classic Strat tones to more powerful, modern options. The American Vintage synchronized tremolo and Fender/Gotoh vintage-style tuning machines provide stability and smooth playability, making this guitar ideal for versatile musicians.
Please Note: This guitar is Pre-Owned and is in Fair condition. Although it was originally a New-Old-Stock finish, it is now more akin to Fender's Journeyman relicing - albeit acquired naturally. As always, you still get the full Peach guitars treatment of individual photos and weights, a professional tech set up to your preferences, free next day UK shipping, and our esteemed customer service.
