Vintage-Correct Materials and Construction

To authentically capture the tone and feel of an original 1959 Stratocaster, the Custom Shop employed era-correct materials and build techniques. The alder body and maple neck were carefully chosen and cured to provide the resonance and stability of a vintage instrument. The flat-radius rosewood fingerboard offers comfortable playability. Narrow tall frets make bends sing and chords ring clearly. The bone nut helps notes ring through with clarity and sustain. From its premium woods to its meticulous craftsmanship, this Strat was built to vintage-spec for discerning tone.

Pickups Modeled After Coveted '59 Strats

At the heart of this Strat's tone are a trio of Custom Shop Fat '50s single-coil pickups. Hand-wound to replicate the coveted pickups of 1959 Strats, these pickups produce glassy cleans, rounded lows and airy highs. The bridge pickup delivers the bite and snap ideal for cut-through leads. The neck pickup conjures mellow warmth perfect for chords and rhythm. With its reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup, this Strat creates the classic scooped midrange tones Strats are known for in positions 2 and 4. Switch between pickups for a range of iconic Stratocaster sounds that defined decades of music.

Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo for Expression

Like the original Strats, this guitar features a synchronized tremolo bridge for expressive pitch-shifting effects. The bent steel saddles and block add a touch of warmth to the tone. With its vintage-style tremolo arm, you can subtly shimmer a chord or dramatically dive bomb a lead for a range of vintage mojo. The tremolo's construction also allows for stable tuning so you can freely use the tremolo without the guitar going out of tune.
