Product Description
Key Features
- Time Capsule - Fender’s Time Capsule portrays a vintage instrument in near-new condition. There is no real ageing but its NOS Lacquer has lost some of its sheen and some parts of the metal hardware show slight oxidisation.
- 7.25” Radius - The original and to many, still the best. Maximum fretting hand comfort especially when playing complex chords.
- Oval 60s C -The perfect middle ground between a modern slim C-shaped neck and a more vintage style shape. It perfectly hugs your hand without feeling clumpy.
Perfect Combinations
Utilising Fender's classic wood combination of Alder, Maple and Rosewood, this '63 Start does it right! With its Alder body, Maple neck and AAA Rosewood fingerboard this (model) offers it in Premium styling. Tonally, it's well-balanced with a slight push in the upper mids as you'd expect from a vintage-styled Strat.
Texas Specials
Originally introduced in the early ‘90s, the Fender Texas Special pickups were designed to reproduce the esteemed fiery-hot Texas blues Strat tones that rose to popularity in the 1980s. These over-wound vintage-styled Stratocaster pickups offer a bell-like chime, sweet highs, and a snappy bass with cutting mids that help push overdriven tones to the next level! Made using Alnico V magnets with Enamel-coated magnet wire along with period-correct pull-back cloth wire and black fibre bobbins these pickups are perhaps the ultimate Strat pickups.
