Description
Nothing screams rock 'n' roll like an aged red Strat with a maple fingerboard - it's synonymous with fast playing and scorching solos. This ultra-sleek Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster pays tribute to those rockin' late '60s guitars, and it's a jaw-dropping axe from top to bottom.
In 1969, Fender made several modifications to the Stratocaster, bringing back the slightly chunkier "U" shaped neck profile and implementing classic "F" tuners. This guitar features those period-correct specs and an immaculate Journeyman Relic finish package that makes it nearly indistinguishable from a genuine '69 Strat.
Powering this guitar is a trio of hand-wound '69 Strat pickups that deliver a gorgeous tone characterized by deep, decadent lows and bright, spanky highs. The middle pickup is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity for hum canceling in the middle position, allowing for noiseless operation when needed.
Complete with a genuine bone nut, narrow tall frets, and a vintage Strat bridge, this Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster is perfect for musicians seeking a premium vintage-inspired guitar with a timeless sound and aesthetic.
