Historically correct construction

To achieve the most authentic feel and sound of a 1959 Strat, the Fender Custom store relies on tradition-conscious manufacturing methods and carefully selected woods for the Vintage Custom '59 Hardtail Strat. The body of the is accordingly made in two parts from alder, with the generous shapings at the front and back of the guitar to fit comfortably to the body. While the surprisingly slim "1959 D" profile of the bolt-on Riftsawn Maple neck fits comfortably in the hand, the rosewood fingerboard's vintage compound radius, which increases from 7.25" to 9.5", allows for easy chord fingering in the lower registers and trouble-free stringing in the higher registers.

Handmade in the custom store, '59 Strat single coils and historically accurate circuitry promise diverse vintage tones of the highest quality.

Hand-Wound '59 Single Coils for Authentic Sounds

Three Custom Shop Hand -Wound '59 single coils are responsible for the electrical sound transformation of the Vintage Custom '59 Hardtail Strat. The hand-made single coils based on historical models convince with authentic Vintage sounds that combine the typical Strat spank and a lively response, making the electric guitar a musical all-rounder for almost every genre between blues, funk and rock. The pickups of the '59 Hardtail Strat are also controlled via a historically correct 5-way circuit, which, in addition to the general master volume control, has its own tone pots for the neck and middle pickups.

Strings-Through Body Hardtail

Of course, the Fender Custom store completes the Vintage Custom '59 Hardtail Strat RW Faded Aged Sonic Blue with historically accurate attachments in subtle Closet Classic finish. Naturally, the 6-saddle Vintage-Style Hardtail is used as the bridge, which not only guarantees exact adjustment of intonation and string action, but also contributes significantly to the characterful sound of the guitar by guiding the strings through the body and the tailpieces made of bent sheet steel. At the other end of the guitar, Fender Vintage-Style tuners also ensure accurate and robust tuning of the electric guitar.
