This Fender Custom Shop '59 Strat blends vintage-correct specs with modern playability, offering rich tone, touch sensitivity, and a feel that grows with you.

This Vintage Custom '59 Stratocaster blends features from one of Fender’s most pivotal years with Custom Shop quality and playability. A flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard and flash-coat nitro finish give this guitar both the look and feel of a well-loved original - resonant, lively, and effortlessly expressive.

The tinted rift-sawn maple neck features a compound radius (7.25"–9.5") that feels immediately familiar and comfy, especially for players who move between rhythm and lead work. Medium vintage frets offer a little extra height for bends and clean articulation without sacrificing that broken-in, old-school feel.

The hand-wound '59 pickups, middle and neck positions, deliver all the sparkle, warmth, and dynamic response you'd expect from a great pre-CBS Strat, with the Fat '60s bridge pickup living up to its name - articulate highs, fatter low end, and a smidge more output / authority. A 5-way switch and vintage wiring keeping things versatile - add in the synchronized trem, classic hardware, and tasteful finish and you've got a Strat that sounds as good as it feels.
