Essential Information About the Fender Custom Shop Custom Built 1960 Stratocaster Guitar
- 60?s Authenticity: alder body with nitrocellulose lacquer in ?Tahitian Coral? finish featuring Relic aging for the look and resonance of a true vintage.
- Exceptional Craftsmanship: quartersawn 2A flamed maple neck, ?63 Style C? profile, and dark Round-Lam rosewood fingerboard, stable and comfortable.
- Handwound Pickups: trio of Custom Shop ?Josefina Master Wound? single coils for remarkable dynamics and clarity.
- Modern Playability: 9.5" radius and 6105 Narrow Tall frets for easy bends, low action, and precise intonation.
A Custom Shop Reissue Faithful to the Spirit of 1960
Designed by the Fender Custom Shop, this 1960 Stratocaster respects historical codes while benefiting from modern tolerances. The subtle relic simulates decades of playing, while the nitrocellulose finish allows the wood to breathe for a lively and ?open? response under the fingers.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
Ideal for professional musicians, vintage tone purists, and collectors. Its clear and responsive palette excels in blues, rock, funk, and surf, yet remains versatile enough for pop and soul, both on stage and in the studio.
The Sound
The three Custom Shop single coils, upgraded to ?Josefina Master Wound,? deliver crystalline highs, singing mids, and firm lows. The ?Vintage Strat? wiring preserves the classic volume/tones layout and the expected 5-position selector, offering scooped intermediate positions without excessive hum. The alder/rosewood combination provides balance, warmth, and natural sustain, while the 60?s style vibrato favors expressiveness without sacrificing tuning stability when properly set up.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
We recommend nickel strings 10-46 to preserve tonal balance and vintage feel, a wide non-slip strap, an electric guitar capo, and a Stratocaster-shaped hard case for perfect protection during transport.
