An artfully aged Fender Custom Shop Strat that plays like a vintage workhorse.
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Nashville Ash-V '57 Stratocaster HSS is a museum-quality recreation of a true vintage icon—complete with every last ding, scratch and playing wear that defines a well-traveled road guitar. This extraordinary instrument captures all the magic and mojo that comes from decades of hard use on stages around the world.
Relic'ed to Perfection With a Super Heavy-Aged Finish
From the moment you lay eyes on this Strat, its heavily aged appearance transports you back in time. Fender's master builders applied a super heavy relic treatment to the nitrocellulose lacquer finish, replicating the kind of intense wear that only years of hard gigging can produce. The finish is riddled with dings, dents, discoloration and checking for an unmistakably road-worn vibe. Even the hardware exhibits signs of oxidation and corrosion. You'll swear this guitar has been through the rock 'n' roll wringer.
An Ash Body and V-Shaped Neck Deliver Pure '50s Strat Tone
While the relic finish garners most of the attention, the Nashville Ash-V '57 Strat is no mere showpiece. Its foundation is a resonant, lightweight ash body with an offset seam for increased midrange presence and sustain. The V-shaped quartersawn maple neck with a 7.25" radius fingerboard conjures the familiar feel of a vintage Fender straight from the '50s Fullerton factory. Every note rings out with bell-like articulation and singing sustain. You can practically hear the echoes of Buddy Holly and Hank Marvin when you dig into this guitar's rich, sparkling Fender tone.
Triple-Shot Pickup Configuration Covers a Wide Tonal Palette
Versatility is the name of the game thanks to the Nashville Ash-V '57 Strat's triple-pickup configuration. A mini-humbucker in the neck position serves up warm, full-bodied lead tones. The hot-stacked middle pickup provides searing bite for solos. And the vintage-stacked bridge pickup captures that unmistakable Tele-like twang that put the Strat on the map. The push/pull tone control allows splitting the middle pickup for even more tonal variations. From blues to country to hard rock, this Strat has you covered with its wide-ranging voice.
Vintage-Style Playability for an Authentic, Broken-In Feel
True to its inspiration, the Nashville Ash-V '57 Strat plays like a guitar that's been loved for decades. The vintage-tall frets allow for effortless bending without fretting out. The 7.25" fingerboard radius offers a distinctly vintage-y curvature that many modern players prefer. The nitro finish will gradually wear in a personalized way that only enhances this instrument's vibe over time. It's a guitar that instantly feels like an old friend from the first time you strap it on.
Features
- Roasted mahogany body, maple neck for warm, rich tone
- Vintage-style single-coil pickups, humbucker for classic Strat sound
- Heavy relic finish and hardware for authentic aged look
