Full Description
View Full DescriptionVintage-inspired design with modern refinements
The Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom '59 Stratocaster brings the essence of a classic era to life, meticulously recreating the features that made the original models legendary. With a lightweight two-piece alder body, this guitar delivers the perfect blend of resonance and sustain. The iconic Faded Graffiti Yellow finish, applied using Fender’s thin Flash Coat lacquer, allows the wood to breathe, enhancing both tone and playability. By skipping the buffing process, the finish remains naturally aged, capturing the feel of a well-loved vintage instrument. These refinements make this Stratocaster an authentic yet player-friendly take on a timeless classic.
Premium neck for effortless playability
Designed for both comfort and performance, the neck of this Stratocaster is crafted from rift-sawn maple, known for its stability and superior tonal qualities. The ’59 Esquire "C" profile offers a vintage-style grip, striking the perfect balance between a substantial feel and smooth playability. The AAA dark-sorted rosewood fretboard not only enhances the guitar’s aesthetic but also provides a silky, responsive touch under the fingers. With a compound 7.25"-9.5" radius, this neck delivers a vintage-correct feel at the lower frets while offering effortless bending and fast lead work higher up the neck. From playing fast paced chords to soaring solos, this neck is built for comfort and versatility.
High-output Seymour Duncan pickups
Unlike traditional ’59 Stratocasters, this model is equipped with a powerful set of Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickups in the neck and middle positions, with a Seymour Duncan SSL-3 Hot Rail in the bridge. These humbucker-sized single-coils pack a punch, delivering a thick, high-output tone with enhanced sustain and warmth. Perfect for players who need more grit and power, these pickups retain clarity and articulation even under heavy distortion. The five-way switch allows for a variety of tonal options, ranging from glassy cleans to aggressive rock tones, making this Strat a versatile workhorse for any genre.
Vintage-style hardware with a relic’d aesthetic
Every detail of this Stratocaster is designed to capture the essence of a true vintage instrument, from its chrome/nickel hardware to the carefully relic’d black pickguard. The American Vintage tremolo bridge ensures smooth vibrato action and tuning stability, while the upgraded '60s-style tremolo arm provides an authentic feel and response. Vintage-style tuning machines with the classic Fender logo add to the old-school charm, keeping tuning solid while maintaining period-correct aesthetics. Even the control knobs, pickup covers, and switch tip follow NOS specifications, further reinforcing the guitar’s timeless appeal.
Custom Shop quality with a premium case
As part of the Fender Custom Shop’s Vintage Custom series, this '59 Stratocaster is built to the highest standards of craftsmanship. Every element of the guitar, from the hand-selected tonewoods to the expertly aged finish, is designed to replicate the feel of a well-preserved vintage model. Included with the guitar is a Custom Shop tweed case, offering both protection and a classic aesthetic. From the studio to the stage, this guitar embodies Fender’s commitment to excellence.
