Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
Exemplifying Custom Shop vintage refinement, this Fender Custom Shop '59 Stratocaster Closet Classic features a two-piece select alder body in an Ice Blue Metallic nitrocellulose lacquer finish with a 3-ply nitro green pickguard. Weighing 6 lbs 14 oz, it incorporates a flame AA maple neck carved to a '60 Style Oval "C" profile (.790" depth at the 1st fret, .930" at the 12th) with a dark tint oil finish, paired with a 9.5" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, Micarta black dot inlays, and a 1.6875" nut over a 25.5" scale length. Electronics center on a trio of Custom Shop Fat '50s single-coil pickups (with an RWRP middle pickup) routed through a 5-way CRL selector switch, 250K 10% taper pots, dual tone controls, and a master volume integrated with an S-1 switch. Outfitted with Closet Classic hardware, key appointments include an American Vintage Stratocaster tremolo with Fender-branded saddles, vintage-style tuners, aged white plastics, an R-series neck plate, and a tweed hardshell case.
