Description
The Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster in Fiesta Red is a love letter to one of Fender's most pivotal years-a perfect choice for players and collectors who want the sound and spirit of a true classic, with just the right modern touches. If you crave a Strat that captures the magic of the late '50s and inspires you every time you pick it up, this one belongs in your hands.
This model is built around a 2-piece select alder body and finished in a thin flash-coat lacquer that lets the guitar resonate naturally. The Fiesta Red finish is both vibrant and iconic, giving a nod to the rare custom color Strats that turned heads at the dawn of a new era. The tinted rift-sawn maple neck brings out subtle figuring and vintage vibe, while the 3A rosewood fingerboard sits atop the neck in a classic flat-laminated style-one of the era's defining upgrades.
Playability is elevated by a 7.25" to 9.5" vintage compound radius, a detail inspired by rare '59 examples. Paired with 21 medium vintage frets, this neck profile feels familiar but a touch more forgiving than standard vintage. The '59 "C" back-shape sits comfortably in your hand, making long sessions feel effortless, whether you're comping chords or letting loose with solos.
Under the hood, three Custom Shop hand-wound '59 Strat single-coil pickups deliver the unmistakable snap, shimmer, and warmth of a golden-era Stratocaster. The 5-way switch and vintage wiring unlock authentic, expressive tones for blues, rock, surf, and beyond. Classic hardware, including an American Vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuners, and a bone nut, guarantee solid performance and tuning stability.
Visually, every detail speaks to the heart of vintage Fender. From the 3-ply mint green pickguard to the vintage clay dot inlays and the subtle flash-coat finish, this guitar exudes the style and soul that made the original '59 Strats so legendary.
