Fender CS Stratocaster 59 NOS RW FAFRD

This '59 Stratocaster from the Custom Shop brings the look and feel of a pre-CBS classic, with modern reliability where it counts. No fake relicing here, just a proper NOS finish that lets the guitar age naturally, with a faded Fiesta Red tone that oozes character without pretending.

The 2-piece alder body is finished in flash coat nitro lacquer (no buffing), letting the wood breathe and develop its own story over time. It feels alive right out of the case.

The neck is quartersawn maple with an AAA rosewood slab fingerboard, built to vintage spec but with a compound radius (7.25"–9.5") and 6105 narrow tall frets for easy bends and solid intonation. The 60s Oval “C” shape is instantly familiar — smooth, comfortable, no nonsense.

Electronics are classic Custom Shop and sooo typically hot Strat Fender-style: hand-wound Fat 50s in the neck and middle, with a Texas Special in the bridge for a little extra bite. 5-way switch and ’59-’60 wiring give you the full Strat range, from bell-like cleans to snappy mids and gritty overdrive.

All hardware is vintage-style, with a mint green 8-screw pickguard, aged white knobs, vintage trem and tuners. Comes in a brown FCS case with COA. This is a real player’s Strat  built to be played loud, not just looked at.
