Vintage Heart, Modern Soul
Meet the Fender Custom Shop American Custom Stratocaster, a guitar that perfectly marries timeless design with modern playability. Finished in a stunning Crimson Burst, this Strat isn’t just an instrument; it’s a statement. From the moment you pick it up, the impeccable craftsmanship of the Custom Shop is obvious, offering a playing experience that feels both classic and completely refined.
A Neck Built for Performance
The real magic starts with the neck. Crafted from a gorgeous 3A roasted flame maple and topped with a 3A rosewood fingerboard, it’s a thing of beauty. The 1965 “C” profile feels instantly familiar and comfortable in your hand, while the modern 9.5″ to 12″ compound radius allows for effortless chording down low and choke-free bends up high. Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, this neck feels broken-in from day one, offering a smooth, buttery playing feel that will inspire you for hours.
Sonic Versatility on Tap
Plug it in, and the Custom Shop Hand-Wound Underwound ’69 Single-Coil Strat pickups transport you straight to a golden era of tone. These pickups deliver all the glassy highs and bell-like chime you expect from a great Strat, with a slightly lower output that provides incredible clarity and dynamic range. The special wiring, featuring a master volume, master tone, and a 1/2 blend control, unlocks a whole new palette of sounds. You can blend in the neck pickup in positions one and two, adding warmth and body to your bridge tones for a sound that truly cuts through the mix.
Uncompromising Custom Shop Quality
Every detail of this guitar is meticulously chosen for performance and tone. The 2-piece select ash body provides a resonant foundation, while the medium jumbo stainless steel frets offer silky-smooth playability and long-lasting durability. Add in the RSD Stratocaster tremolo for stable, expressive vibrato and vintage-style tuners for a classic look, and you have a guitar that’s ready for the studio, the stage, and everything in between.
