The traditional Alder body is finished in a stunning Heavy Relic Candy Apple Red over Gold Sparkle nitro lacquer. In terms of relicing, it is actually closer to a Closet Classic; as you use the guitar, the awesome Gold Sparkle will begin to show through from below. The thin nitro finish also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively.
The 5/4 quartersawn Maple neck has a smooth finish. With an AAA Rosewood fingerboard, 9.5" compound radius and 21 narrow tall 6105 frets, the '69 Custom Shop Stratocaster can handle anything you throw at it without even breaking a sweat; it's supremely comfortable and well balanced. The 1969 "U" neck profile is a joy to play and offers a great platform for both rhythm and lead playing - measuring .850" at the 1st fret and .910" at the 12th fret.
With the Stratocaster design being considered by many to be the original workhorse guitar, the Custom Shop '69 Stratocaster needs a pickup pairing that can deliver the classic Strat sound. With a trio of Josefina hand-wound Poblano Strat pickups it delivers all the sweeping, versatile tones you would expect from a Strat. Rich and smooth, it's a premium Stratocaster tone.
Supreme quality from top to bottom and shipped in a Fender Custom Shop hardcase, it's easy to see the Fender Masterbuilders are so highly regarded. Guitars of this calibre just don't come around every day, we love it and we're pretty sure you will to!
