Drop us a message!A Hardtail with HistoryThis isn't just a guitar; it's a time capsule. The Fender Custom Shop 1956 Stratocaster Hardtail delivers the kind of resonance and sustain that only a fixed bridge can provide. Crafted from a 2-piece off-center ash body and finished in a stunning Super Aged Lake Placid Blue, this guitar feels like an old friend from the very first chord. The Heavy Relic treatment is expertly done, telling a story of countless gigs and sessions, with every check and ding adding to its incredible character.Hand-Wound '56 ToneAt the heart of this Strat is a trio of Hand-Wound '56 pickups. These pickups are the real deal, delivering the glassy, bell-like chime that made the Stratocaster a legend. The bridge pickup has a satisfying bite and twang, the neck pickup is warm and buttery, and the reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup provides hum-canceling bliss in positions two and four. From gritty blues to shimmering clean tones, this guitar sings with an authentic vintage voice that responds beautifully to your pick attack.Vintage Feel, Modern PlayabilityThe neck is where this Strat truly comes alive in your hands. The 10/56 "V" profile is a substantial, comfortable handful that's perfect for players who love a vintage feel. But it's not a one-trick pony. The neck features a modern 7.25" to 9.50" compound radius, offering the best of both worlds: a rounder profile down low for comfortable chording and a flatter feel up high for effortless, choke-free bending. It’s a masterful blend of classic Fender feel and contemporary performance.Key reasons why your next instrument should come from Moore Guitars:- Moore Guitars is a Top 300 Seller by Reverb and a Top 100 Music Retailer by NAMM!
