What we say:
At A Glance
This Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '59 Strat in Aged Black over Chocolate 3-Colour Sunburst sports the Custom Shop's Super Heavy Relic finish package, which brings you a stunning take on a used and abused but well loved and still roaring instrument. The kind of guitar that's seen it all, done it all, and still come back fighting.
Features like the Large "C" neck profile, vintage style tuning machines and Custom Shop Vintage synchronised tremolo, really impart that sense of playing a truly decades old guitar, while the Hand-Wound Fat ’60s Strat® Pickups deliver all that defined chime and growl of this era of Stratocaster guitars. Just the kind of magic you only find at the Fender Custom Shop.
Features We Love:
Custom Shop Built
Home to some of the most talented luthiers in the world, Fender Custom Shop has been producing incredible guitars since they first opened back in 1987. With a wealth of knowledge and skill all under one roof, each guitar is instilled with some of that Custom Shop magic.
Electronics
This guitar is fitted with a set of Hand-Wound Fat '60s Strat Singlecoil pickups. These superb singlecoils are built to really deliver that clarity, definition and throaty growl that early to mid 60s Strats were known for. The middle pickup is also reverse-wound/reverse-polarity, giving you true hum-cancelling in positions 2 and 4. These pickups clean up tremendously too, and paired with the Tone Saver Bleed circuit on the volume pot which ensures no loss of high end when you roll off the volume, this guitar is built for any style you can think of.
Super Heavy Relic Finish
This guitar's Super Heavy Relic, Aged colour over colour finish completely evokes the idea of an instrument that's been heavily played and bashed around its whole life. An instrument that was bought new, beaten up, had a DIY finish put over the top to make it look like new, only for that colour to get beat up too! Now it proudly sports all the smoke and spilled beer of thousands of gigs and club nights evident in every stain, wear spot and dent across its rugged yet noble features. The kind of guitar that's seen it all and done it all. Just the kind of magic you only find at the Fender Custom Shop.
Who Is It For?
The player looking for that special guitar that looks and plays like a well-worn extension of yourself, right out the box.
