Vintage style Strat for Blues Rock
With the Fender '59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Super Faded Aged Candy Apple Red #CZ555905, the FenderCustom store sends a strictly limited Strat into the race that combines classic end-Fifties specs with hot blues-rock tones. While classic woods in the form of an alder body and a rift sawn maple neck with rosewood fingerboard are used under the detailed Relic nitrocellulose finish, hand-wound Texas Special single coils provide crisp clean and overdrive tones with typical Fender brilliance. In addition, a Custom Shop Synchronized Tremolo and Vintage-Style tuners complete the Limited Edition '59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Super Faded Aged Candy Apple Red.
The Fender '59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Super Faded Aged Candy Apple Red #CZ555905 combines authentic vintage looks with comfortable playing characteristics and powerful blues-rock tones.
The comfortable "'60s style Oval C" neck of radially sawn maple is bolted to the alder body via a Custom Shop neck plate.
Traditionally built Strat with comfortable handling.
In building the '59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic, the FenderCustom store follows the historically authenticated specs from the late 1950s. Under the lovingly detailed artificially aged nitrocellulose finish, a two-piece body made of carefully selected alder wood and a neck made of sturdy, radially sawn maple with rosewood fingerboard are used accordingly. The pleasantly rounded "'60s Style Oval C" neck profile with modern 9.5" fretboard radius creates the best conditions for unhindered playability of all frets and buttery smooth chord fingerings.
Hand-wound Texas Special pickups with modified vintage wiring promise powerful clean and overdrive sounds with typical Fender character.
Handwound Texas Special Single Coils
As pickup for the '59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Super Faded Aged Candy Apple Red the FenderCustom chooses a calibrated Set hand-wound Texas Special Single Coils. With overwound coils and classic Alnico V magnets, the output-strong single coils elicit hot clean and overdrive tones from the guitar amp, with tight bass, highlighted mids and crystalline brilliance ideally suited to styles between Blues and rock. While the RWRP mid pickup ensures hum-free performance in the intermediate positions of the 5-way blade switch, the "Vintage Modified #2" Wiring not only provides a dedicated tone control for the bridge pickup, but also a treble bleed to prevent treble loss when turning down the volume control.
Fender vintage-style split-shaft tuners keep the '59 Heavy Relic Strat securely in tune.
Authentic Custom Shop Vintage hardware
Of course, high-quality Custom Shop Hardware in historically accurate Vintage-Style completes Fender's '59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Super Faded Aged Candy Apple Red. The bridge here is the Custom Shop Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo, which responds smoothly to handles to the whammy bar and promises shimmering pitch changes. In addition, tailpieces made of bent sheet steel not only support the lively vintage sound of the electric guitar, but also guarantee precise adjustment of intonation and string position. Behind the bone nut, Fender Vintage-Style tuners with typical "split shaft" axles also ensure accurate and robust tuning of the guitar.
