Fender Custom Shop 1966 Stratocaster HSS – Guitar Riot Special Build

This Fender Custom Shop 1966 Stratocaster HSS is a Guitar Riot exclusive, combining modded Stratocaster specs we love in one exceptional package.

It features a lightweight alder body and a smooth, unfinished maple neck, paired with an AAA rosewood fretboard. The 9.5” to 12” compound radius offers superb playability, and the 66 Oval C neck profile provides that perfect vintage feel for those that seek a little fuller neck profile on a mid 60s  style Stratocaster.

We chose the classic Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup for that definitive rock sound.  Paired with the Custom Shop Hand Wound Fat 50’s Strat pickups you get a full range of sonic capabilities in one package.

Other features include a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree with nylon spacer. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
