Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster Rosewood - Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst
1959 stands as a monumental landmark in the evolution of the Fender Stratocaster, introducing defining modern elements like the rich rosewood fingerboard. This stunning Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster captures that precise moment of innovation. Crafted with a premium two-piece select alder body and coated in a special flash-coat lacquer finish, the wood breathes naturally to deliver an organic warmth and singing sustain. Whether you are looking to channel the legendary blues soul of Stevie Ray Vaughan or the fluid, expressive rock phrasing of Eric Clapton, this instrument proudly carries the legacy of Fender's golden era.
The neck is built for pure vintage comfort, shaped from tinted rift-sawn maple into a classic 1959 "C" profile. It is paired with a beautiful 3A rosewood fingerboard featuring a rare, historically accurate 7.25" - 9.5" compound radius. Discovered on select rare examples from Fender's formative years, this radius offers a truly unique playing feel. Outfitted with 21 medium vintage frets, it provides an exceptionally comfortable canvas for deep rhythm work and effortless soloing alike.
Under the hood, a trio of Custom Shop hand-wound '59 single-coil Strat pickups perfectly revives the chime and punch of the late 1950s. Wired to a 5-way switch with traditional vintage wiring and protected by a 3-ply mint green nitrocellulose pickguard, this configuration puts an expansive palette of iconic tones right at your fingertips. Complete with a bone nut, a vintage-style wing string tree, and an American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, this guitar delivers the unmistakable look, feel, and sound of a true masterpiece.
