Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster #R148541 - time capsule sherwood green metallic
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 FENDER Custom Shop Time Machine Vintage Custom '59 Stratocaster #R148541 (9237003357) would have been on the rare side, which ups the collectability and cool factors. This guitar features a hand-selected two-piece "sort for lightweight" Alder body and a rift-sawn Maple neck with a 1959 Esquire C profile, a vintage compound-radius (7.25" - 9.5") "sort for dark" Rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium vintage frets.
Hand-wound 1959 Strat pickups are wired to a vintage '59 control assembly and five-way switch.
Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
