Description
With numerous player-centric features, the finest quality woods, and top-notch pickups and wiring, the American Custom Stratocaster is one of Fender Custom Shop's quintessential guitars. Its deeply-contoured two-piece ash body is lightweight, and features a striking Transparent Crimson finish that shows off some stunning figuring. Its Sperzel tuners, 1960 oval "C" profile, and contoured neck-heel make playing this Strat's one-piece AAA birdseye maple neck a breeze, topped off with a compound radius 9.5" to 12" fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. Whether you're playing big bends in the upper register or chords down in the first position, this guitar's neck feels comfortable for hours on end. This guitar's pickups and electronics are a marvel, as well, with all control and pickup routes shielded and grounded for reduced electromagnetic interference. Its three handwound Dual-Mag pickups use alnico V magnets on the bass side and beveled alnico II magnets on the treble side, creating unprecedented tonal balance and clarity between strings. The American Custom Strat also features Vintage Modified #2 wiring with a tone-saving treble bleed circuit for even more tonal versatility. If you're looking for a Stratocaster that leaves no stone unturned when it comes to high-quality one, looks, and playability, then look no further than Fender Custom Shop's American Custom Stratocaster.
