Product Description
A true workhorse! This Fender Custom Shop 63 Stratocaster looks like it has some stories to tell. Expertly aged, this guitar looks like it's been someone's number one for many decades. With its HSS pickup configuration and coil splitting on the bridge humbucker, it covers the full sonic spectrum from bright sparkling single-coil magic to rip-roaring hair-raising full humbucker throttle.
The guitar feels alive in your hands, the body is resonant and the neck shakes when you strike the strings. It’s a guitar that you won't want to put down and with its Faded Aged Desert Sand finish it will be the talking point of your collection.
Key Features
- 25” Radius: The original and to many, still the best. Maximum fretting hand comfort especially when playing complex chords.
- Genuine: With its 3 Patent number decal and Vintage Clay fretboard markers, this Custom Shop ’63 is oozing with vintage correct appointments.
- 45085 Frets: Vintage styled but with added height for even easier bends and vibrato.
- Faded Aged Nitro Finish: Faded and aged to look like the real deal. A brand-new guitar that looks like it's been played every day for the last 50-plus years.
Alder, Maple, Rosewood
The classic Strat wood combination, an Alder body partnered up with a Maple neck and a Rosewood fingerboard. Beautifully balanced and resonant. This Custom Shop Strat has all the harmonics and overtones you could hope for on a Strat and of course, buckets full of the famed bell-like glassy tone and chime.
60s C shape Neck
The best of both worlds’ guitar neck shape. Thin enough and ergonomic enough to effortlessly glide up and down the neck at a thousand miles an hour yet big enough that wherever you are on the neck, you will still be connected to wood.
Fender Custom Shop
The Fender Dream Factory. The best luthiers, using the best materials and tools all under one roof with the single unified mission of building the best guitars that Fender has ever produced. Founded in 1987 the Custom Shop was established to take Fender’s manufacturing back to its roots. Today the shop is famed for pushing Leo's designs to their limits.
Pickups That Do It All
With its Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker in the bridge and two Fender Custom Shop Texas Specials, this Strat can do it all. The Antiquity provides authentic punchy 50s PAF tones whereas the Texas Specials gives you all the classic Stratocaster tones, full of sparkle and clarity but overwound for increased output. The perfect single coils to match with a humbucker.
