Fender Custom Shop

collapse expand iconDescription

To celebrate their 30th year of activity, the Fender Custom Shop built a limited number of special guitars for NAMM 2017. One of them presented here is a fabulous example of a 1959 Stratocaster with all of the mojo you'd expect. It features a worn finish finish that offers the appearance of a well-traveled, vintage instrument that is 100% functional. This Strat comes with a sweet combination of desirable specs including a 9.5 in. radius fretboard and hand-wound Stratocaster pickups with vintage modified wiring. Includes hardshell case and 30th anniversary appointments.
