Presenting the Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom '59 Hardtail Strat® NOS, this one in their Faded Aged Sonic Blue flash coat finish.
From Fender about this model:
"1959 saw the advent of several important feature changes to the Stratocaster® including a slab rosewood fingerboard with clay position dots, a three-ply mint green pickguard with 8, 9 or 10 screws depending on the month it was built, and a metal spacer added to the string tree. This hardtail version would have been on the rare side, which ups the collectability and cool factors. This guitar features a hand-selected two-piece alder body and a rift-sawn maple neck with a 1959 "D" profile, a vintage compound-radius (7.25" - 9.5") rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium vintage frets."
The 2-Piece Select Alder Body features an NOS Flash Coat Lacquer Finish
The Rift Sawn Maple Neck features a '59 "D" Back-Shape with Flat-Lam Rosewood Fingerboard, 7.25" to 9.5" Vintage Compound Radius, and 21 Medium Vintage (47095) Frets.
Electronics include a set of Custom Shop Hand-Wound '59 Single-Coil Strat® Pickups, with Vintage Wiring, and 5-Way Switch.
Hardware includes a 3-Ply Mint Green Pickguard, 6-Saddle Hardtail Bridge with "Pat. Pend." Saddles, Vintage-Style Tuning Machines, Bone Nut, and Wing String Tree with Tall Metal Spacer.
Accessories include a Brown Tolex Custom Shop Deluxe Hardshell Case, Strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
