Custom Shop Fat ‘64 Pickups
Designed and made by the Fender Custom Shop, the Fat ‘64 Stratocaster pickups perfectly capture the highly desired articulate vintage mid-60s Strat tone but with a few updated tweaks. Made using period-correct fibre bobbins, cloth wire, Alnico V magnets, and Enamel-coated magnet wire, these pickups provide authentic vintage Strat tones that are rich in dynamics with a bell-like character. They have been overwound for extra bite and more power in the low-end and the middle pickup is RWRP for no noise in positions 2 and 4.
Perfect Combinations
Utilising Fender’s classic wood combination of Alder, Maple and Rosewood, this Strat does it right! With its 2-piece Alder body, AAA Flamed Maple neck and AAA slab Rosewood fingerboard this ’63 Stratocaster offers it in Premium styling. Tonally, it’s well-balanced with a slight push in the upper mids as you’d expect from a Strat. The guitar sustains nicely, and at 7.9lbs it’s a very comfortable weight.
