Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 59 Hardtail Strat | Time Capsule Faded Aged Sonic Blue

The Fender Stratocaster is probably the most iconic guitar ever produced and the Fender Custom Shop '59 Stratocaster is a fitting addition to this legendary line.

The sort for lightweight Alder body is finished in Faded Aged Sonic Blue, one of Fender's most iconic finishes, it's a real beauty! Boasting a unique Time Capsule nitro finish, this gives the look and feel of a guitar preserved since its build. This finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further. It also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively compared with other finishes.

The Rift Sawn Maple neck has a smooth finish and a AAA grade sort for dark Rosewood fingerboard. With a 7.25”-9.5" radius and 21 medium vintage frets, the '59 Custom Shop Stratocaster can handle anything you throw at it without even breaking a sweat; it's supremely comfortable and well balanced. The 1959 “D" profile is a joy to play and offers a great platform for both rhythm and lead playing. It measures at .800" at the 1st fret and .980" at the 12th

With a trio of hand wound Fender Custom Shop 59 pickups, it delivers all the sweeping, versatile tones you would expect from a Strat. With a crisp harmonic content and a really refined and precise tone, 

Supplied with a Fender Custom Shop hard case, this is a real sweet example of Custom Shop quality.
