Fender Total Tone ’56 Strat - Black - Relic - R71261

The Fender Custom Shop Total Tone ’56 Strat is a legend perfected.
Hand crafted to the micro-measured specifications of a vintage ’56
Stratocaster, and built with the same retooled equipment as the
original. The Total Tone ’56 Strat has an alder body finished with a
thin layer of black nitrocellulose lacquer for optimum resonance. The
one-piece, quartersawn maple neck with the classic 10 56 V contour and
rolled edges fits comfortably in your hand, while 21 tall, jumbo 6105
frets on a 9.5” fretboard radius plays like a dream and lets you bend
any note with clarity.


There are two very distinct features that make the Total Tone series
of guitars unique. First, the heart of this extraordinary instrument
is the trio of Fender Lineage Red Pickups custom designed, voiced, and
built for the Total Tone line of guitars. The middle pickup is reverse
wound, reverse polarity to minimize noise, and all three feature beveled
and staggered Alnico V magnets wound with heavy, 42 gauge Formvar wire
and cloth leads. The 6.2k Ohm neck and middle pickups and 7k Ohm
bridge pickup deliver a punchy midrange, bright highs and a hotter
output for a vintage tone with a bigger, thicker presence.


Second, Fender’s attention to detail can be seen in the most
accurate vintage-spec. hardware to date. In 2013 Fender redesigned and
retooled for the American Vintage series. These Total Tone Strats are
currently the only Custom Shop guitars to feature the newly designed
hardware. The new American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo is the original
design, with bent steel saddles to preserve that distinctive Strat
sound. A modern 5-way selector switch gives you easy access to the full
range of classic Strat tones, while the American Vintage tuners work
perfectly with the aged, 1-ply white pickguard and the tastefully aged
black finish and neck for a look that suggests decades of play as your
favorite guitar. Put your hands on this Custom Shop Total Tone ’56
Strat, experience the sound, feel, look, and performance of a legend,
and make some history of your own.
