Description
The Fender Custom Shop Fat '50s Stratocaster showcases the very best of what the 1950s had to offer. With its rich tone, striking sunburst finish, and excellent playability, this Strat is sure to impress even the pickiest of vintage guitar enthusiasts.
Starting with a two-piece select alder body, this beauty delivers a punchy tone with pronounced upper mids and loads of sustain. Its one-piece rift-sawn maple neck sports a '54 soft "V" profile, a 9.5"-radius fingerboard, and 21 jumbo frets, and it plays just like an authentic old-school Fender. Classic guitar buffs will appreciate this Strat's lovely relic job that includes dings, dents, scratches, and 'dirty' finish checking, all of which give it the look and feel of a well-worn vintage axe.
If you love that iconic Strat spank and chime but need something with a little more meat, this guitar is the perfect fit, thanks to its hand-wound Fat '50s pickups that churn out a fatter '50s-style tone. Hooked up to Fat '50s wiring that produces a bolder sound with a more transparent bloom, these pickups sound fantastic in any performance setting.
Complete with a Custom Shop vintage-style synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, and a genuine bone nut, the Custom Shop Fat '50s Stratocaster is ideal for players who want a premium guitar that blends all the best features of '50s Strats.
