Early 1960 saw a major transition of the Strat® from its original 1950s version. New features that year included a rosewood fingerboard, three-ply “mint green” pickguard, 60 style oval “C” neck profile. Further, it was the last year of the original “spaghetti” headstock decal (“Fender® Stratocaster® with Synchronized Tremolo”) before the addition of patent numbers.

For this recreation, we’ve added several compelling player-centric features for greater tonal options and a heightened playing experience. The journeyman thin lacquer finish on the two-piece alder body imparts the look and feel of guitar that’s been played for years. The tinted quartersawn maple neck has a 1960-style oval “C” back shape, topped by a rosewood fingerboard with 6105 frets and a modern 9.5” radius for comfortable feel when bending anywhere along the neck. Other features include Custom Shop vintage-style synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
