This Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster feels like a guitar that spent decades tucked safely in its case. The Chocolate 3-Tone Sunburst has the depth you want from a late-’50s Strat, while the Closet Classic treatment adds just a hint of age. Fender’s NOS Flash Coat “Time Capsule” lacquer, mint green pickguard, and clay dots bring the period details together without making the guitar look heavily worn. The riftsawn maple neck has a ’59 Esquire C carve that grows from a slimmer .790" at the first fret to a fuller .980" at the twelfth. A 7.25"–9.5" compound radius and medium vintage frets keep the feel familiar down low and comfortable for bends higher up. Three hand-wound ’59 pickups give you the full range of Strat sounds through a five-position switch. At 7 lbs 12 oz, this is a thoughtfully spec’d take on a ’59 for someone who wants the vintage look and feel in a guitar they can play every day.
