Description
The Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 59 Hardtail Strat is a rare take on a pivotal Strat era built with period-correct details and standout Custom Shop craftsmanship. Finished in Chocolate 3-Colour Sunburst it captures the look and feel of a late 50s original complete with a lacquer finish that lets the alder body resonate freely. The hardtail bridge design adds a unique twist offering a slightly different response compared to traditional tremolo models with increased sustain and a solid direct feel under your picking hand. A rift-sawn maple neck with a flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard delivers a smooth vintage-inspired playing experience shaped to a fuller 59 “D” profile that fills the hand comfortably. The 7.25 to 9.5 inch compound radius keeps chords authentic in lower positions while making bends easier further up the neck. Medium vintage frets offer a familiar feel with just the right amount of height for control and precision. Loaded with Custom Shop hand-wound 59 single-coils and vintage wiring this Strat produces warm articulate tones with classic clarity making it a brilliant choice for players.
