A meticulously crafted Strat that honors tradition while embracing modern refinements.
The Fender Custom Shop American Custom Stratocaster combines classic design with modern precision for an instrument that looks, feels and sounds as timeless as the original. Loaded with hand-wound Fat '64 single-coil pickups and sporting a roasted birdseye maple neck, this Strat delivers the vintage vibe and tone that serious musicians crave while offering enhanced playability and tuning stability.
Premium Ash Body Resonates With Vintage Vibe
The Custom Shop selected a premium 2-piece ash body for this Strat, just like the original '60s models. Ash lends a bright, focused tonality with plenty of snap and snarl to push the pickups. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the wood to breathe and resonate freely while aging gracefully over time. A 1-ply gold anodized aluminum pickguard and nickel/chrome hardware complete this guitar's vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Roasted Birdseye Maple Neck Plays Smooth and Fast
The roasted AA birdseye maple neck is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Fender's roasting process enhances the wood's natural maple tone while boosting its resistance to humidity and temperature fluctuations. The AA-grade birdseye figure adds an elegant aesthetic touch while the '67 C-shaped profile feels instantly comfortable and familiar. Narrow tall frets let your fingers effortlessly flow across the 1-piece maple fingerboard for lightning-fast leads and blistering bends.
Hand-Wound Fat '64 Pickups Serve Up Vintage Strat Tone
At the heart of this Stratocaster lie a trio of Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat '64 single-coil pickups. Each one is meticulously crafted to reproduce the warm, bell-like tones of the original 1964 Strat pickups while remaining articulate enough to cut through a dense mix. You'll hear all the vintage spank, snarl and quack that defined the Stratocaster's iconic tone. The five-way blade switch provides a wealth of tonal options from chimey, crystalline cleans to fat, overdriven grit.
Timeless Tremolo and Tuning Stability
Vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridges are synonymous with the Stratocaster. This one features a period-correct block saddle design and smooth travel for expressive vibrato. You can dive-bomb, surf and flutter with confidence. Sperzel die-cast tuning machines lock down the strings at the headstock while a bone nut provides optimal transfer of energy from the strings to the neck. It all adds up to impeccable tuning stability and sustain.
