Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster Relic

Description

This is quite an exceptional Strat. A one owner instrument that was bought new from Coda Music and seen very little use during it’s short life. We don’t see a great many of the 59 model year custom shop Strats and it’s always lovely to get our hands on one. This one has a deep dark black rosewood 10 radius fret board which instantly gives it that look that, lets face it, we all want from a rosewood board Fender. The neck shape is lovely, a hugely playable guitar with bags of tone and resonance. Plugged in you get awesome tones from the hand wound 59 Custom Shop pickups. A lovely relic job on this one too. This is one of those instruments that we’d much rather keep in the private collection but needs must, we are running a business so it’s up for sale. Friends of mine that are top players have been in and tried this and it’s getting the seal of approval from them all. A real gem!
