Get your Fender Custom Shop Guitar from Humbucker Music, an authorized Fender Showcase Dealer with over 100 Fender Custom Shop guitars for sale at all times
The Custom Shop did something we think was really cool this year at NAMM. They reissued the top 20 NAMM Limited Edition guitars over the past several years. This is one of those guitars. Originally offered at the 2017 NAMM show, it proved to be a favorite among customers and dealers, so Fender decided to reissue it as a limited run. Get one while you can!
1959 was a year of transition for the venerable Strat. In May of ’59 Fender revised the way necks were made, switching from a one-piece maple neck to maple capped with a "slab" rosewood fingerboard. They also changed the pickguard, moving from 1-ply construction to the current three-ply material, and upped the number of screws from eight to 11, which also necessitated changing the body’s control route. These changes didn’t happen overnight; many guitars exist that show various combinations of these features, which makes them extremely rare and collectible. Reflecting these historic idiosyncrasies, the maple fingerboard model sports a 1-ply, 9-hole Parchment pickguard while the rosewood fingerboard model sports 3-ply, 10-hole Mint Green nitro pickguard.The two-piece alder body wears a Heavy Relic lacquer finish, giving it the look and feel of a well-loved guitar that’s seen countless stages, while the tinted quartersawn maple neck is fast-playing and comfortable, thanks to the '59 C neck profile, 9.5" radius fingerboard and 21 6100 frets. The trio of Hand-Wound Texas Special includes a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup to reduce hum. Other features include five-way switch, Vintage Modified #2 wiring, American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
