Description
Step back in time to 1964, a year of significant evolution for the Fender Stratocaster. With revamped pickups, body contours, a redesigned pickguard, and an updated headstock logo, this new-and-improved Strat became that year's ultimate rock 'n' roll machine. Now, enter the Fender Custom Shop 1964 Stratocaster: a faithful recreation of that transitional model and a killer guitar that's sure to impress old-school Fender enthusiasts.
Let's talk about the heart of this beauty - the two-piece select alder body coated in a Target 3-Tone Sunburst finish and capped off with a Journeyman Relic finish treatment. The relicing is so authentic that you'd swear it's been gigged to perfection over the years, while the Closet Classic hardware still looks nice and shiny.
Aside from looks, this Strat's quartersawn maple neck rocks a 1963 "C" profile, a 9.5"-radius AAA rosewood fingerboard, and 21 narrow tall frets that provide an extraordinary playing experience. Guitarists will also love its Custom Shop hand-wound Fat '64 Strat pickups that deliver a tone that's nothing short of spectacular. Think deep, rich lows, subtly scooped mids and sparkling highs that cut through the mix. It's the sound the Strat was always meant to make, but with more low-end punch.
Complete with vintage-style tuners and a genuine bone nut, this Fender is a guitarist's dream, a nod to vintage Strats, and a sonic powerhouse all in one. If you're passionate about '60s Strats and crave that signature, spankin' tone synonymous with rock 'n' roll, the Fender Custom Shop 1964 Stratocaster is calling your name - reach out today to make it yours!
