Product Description
We are very pleased to offer this absolutely stunning Fender Custom Shop ‘60s Stratocaster in Aged Candy Blue. This has to be one of the best-looking Strats to come through our doors! With its beautiful Rosewood fingerboard, Tortoiseshell guard and beautiful checking and aging this guitar just has to be played.
Fortunately, this guitar plays and sounds just as good as it looks. Full of character, overtones and bell-like chime. It's well-balanced and feels alive as you play up and down the neck. Complimented by a set of hand-wound Josefina Campos 60/63 Strat pickups this Strat sings!
Key Features
- Compound: Round 7.25’’ fingerboard radius towards the nut for comfortable chording which transitions to a flatter 9.50’’ from the 12th fret for effortless bends and shredding.
- Modern Vintage: Vintage at heart with few modern tweaks for ultimate playability. Its Compound Radius, Narrow Tall frets and 5-way switch make this Strat extra versatile.
- Quarter Sawn Maple Neck: Extreme stability!
- Relic Nitro: Expertly aged in a really authentic and tasteful way, this Strat looks like it's been someone's favourite guitar for over 50 years.
Choice Tonewoods
Alder, Maple and Rosewood, the electric guitar dream team! Expertly done, this Fender Custom Shop 60s Strat has been expertly crafted with a 2-piece Alder body and a Quarter Sawn Maple neck with a AAA slab Rosewood fingerboard. Ample amounts of classic '60s Strat tones.
60s C
Ultimate playability thanks to this Custom Shops 60s style oval C-shaped neck profile. It’s the best of both worlds, thin enough to easily move around the neck at speed yet still enough wood to be able to wrap your thumb around and feel the neck shake when you dig in.
Fender Custom Shop
Since the late 80s the Fender Custom shop has been the benchmark to which all other Fender electric guitars are compared to. Using a team of select luthiers using the best materials and tools the Custom Shop is famed for producing the finest instruments that Fender has ever built. Known as the ‘Dream Factory’, no idea too big. This team-built ‘60s Stratocaster is no exception!
Hand-Wound 60/63 Pickups
Wound by Fender's famed pickup winder, Josefina Campos these 60/63 Stratocaster pickups are the perfect compliment to this Custom Shop 60s Stratocaster. Well-balanced and focused these pickups use Alnico V magnets and Formvar wire to replicate some of Fender's most sought-after pickups.
