Product information

This Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1964 L-Series Stratocaster is as close as it gets to stepping back in time and pulling a well-loved vintage Strat straight off the wall.

For our money, the quarter-sawn maple neck is the real standout here - it’s incredibly close in feel to an original mid-'60s example, with a comfy '63-style "C" profile that just melts into your hand. Paired with a round-lam rosewood fingerboard, 9.5" radius, and 21 narrow tall frets (6105), this one delivers that broken-in, effortless playability that makes vintage Strats so addictive (just with vastly improved playability).

A trio of Custom Shop Fat '64 pickups ("regular" '64 in the middle) offers everything we love about golden-era Strat tone, with a touch more low-end and output - crisp highs, balanced mids, and tight lows. The reverse-wound middle pickup keeps positions 2 and 4 hum-free, while Vintage Modified #2 wiring and a Tone-Saver bleed circuit preserve clarity as you roll back the volume. A Custom Shop vintage-style tremolo, mint green guard, and aged lacquer finish complete the look and feel of a true road-worn classic.

If you’re after that early-mid '60s Strat magic, this is one of the best modern builds we’ve played. Priced with deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
