Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster JRN MN HSS FLDRS WBL MBDB Masterbuilt David Brown
Product information "Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster JRN MN HSS FLDRS WBL MBDB Masterbuilt David Brown"
Like its predecessors from the Teambuilt Custom Shop, this new Dealer Select is again modelled on a 1959 Fender Stratocaster with HSS pickup configuration, Olli's absolute favourite model from the American cult manufacturer. The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster JRN MN HSS FLDRS WBL MBDB therefore adopts most of the specifications of the previous Dealer Select Strats – with some interesting changes.
The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster JRN MN HSS FLDRS WBL MBDB is a classic ST-style electric guitar with a two-piece ash body. Ash was already used on the original Stratocasters and provides the basis for the perfect vintage tone. The body wood was hand-selected to ensure an especially light weight and thus improve playing comfort. The aged maple neck with maple fretboard and 22 jumbo nickel-silver frets is sculpted in an ultra-comfortable '60s-style oval C profile and features a compound fretboard radius of 9.5" - 12", which offers the perfect compromise between vintage feel and modern playability and makes fretting easier for your left hand. The guitar is equipped with a modern H-S-S pickup combination consisting of a Seymour Duncan EVH '78 humbucker in zebra at the bridge, a Fender Custom Shop Handwound Fat 50s single coil and a Fender Custom Shop Handwound '59 single coil at the neck position with reverse-wound and reverse-polarity. The humbucker also features an auto-split function.
Other appointments include Fender Vintage Style tuners, control knobs in Aged White, a 4-ply White Pearl pickguard and a Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge. With the Floyd Rose tremolo and its matching nut, constant retuning is a thing of the past. It enables you to perform extreme vibrato effects without the guitar going out of tune.
This model is finished in classic White Blonde. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the wood to resonate particularly well and makes the finish age more attractively. It's about the look and feel of a guitar that has been loved and played. If you play your instrument often, it's a simple truth that your guitar will eventually show signs of wear. Even players who treat their guitars very carefully can suffer the consequences of a fall from a stand, other people's hands or even a mysteriously appearing ding. Each of these marks gives the guitar character. And that's what you get with the Journeyman Relic level from Fender Custom Shop. A well-cared-for instrument that has been played, gigged and loved. All our Dealer Select Masterbuilts with Journeyman Relic were built by David Brown.
The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster JRN MN HSS FLDRS WBL MBDB is delivered with a certificate of authenticity in a luxurious original Fender Custom Shop case, with which you can safely transport and protect your new dream guitar from external influences. A Fender Custom Shop strap is also included in the scope of delivery.
