Fender Custom Shop Ltd Ed 1959 Stratocaster NOS Electric Guitar, Chocolate 3-Colour Sunburst

1959 was a big year in Stratocaster history. It was the first year that modern details like a rosewood fingerboard and the iconic Sunburst 3-Color finish made their debut. The Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster boasts a rosewood fingerboard and a striking chocolate Sunburst 3-Color finish, as well as many cool and rare features of early Stratocaster models. The guitar's lacquer flash-coat finish exudes a free-spirited vitality, with long sustain and warm tone. The vintage-style 7.25"-9.5" double-arched neck, typically found on extremely rare models, gives it a unique feel that sets it apart from other vintage models. It also features classic medium frets, which are slightly larger than regular vintage models and allow for easy fingering.

Other features include a two-piece select alder body, stained quartersawn maple neck, '59 “C” neck profile, 21 vintage medium frets, handwound '50 Strat single-coil pickups, 5-way switches, 3-ply mint green nitrocellulose pickguard, American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, string tree and vintage-style tuners.

Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster is the legendary guitar you know and love. Includes deluxe hardcase, strap and COA.
