COMMENTS
This detailed Custom Shop reproduction of a 1960 Strat was built utilizing original tooling and production techniques of the era. NOS treatment gives it the New Old Stock appearance of a forgotton treasure. Includes deluxe hardshell case. Relic Finish Shows Natural Wear and Tear of Years of Heavy Use, Nicks, Scratches, Worn Finish, Rusty Hardware and Aged Plastic Parts.
Poised at the dawn of an exciting new decade, the Stratocaster of 1960 was a guitar about to embark on wild sonic adventures never dreamed of by the instrument’s creators. Players everywhere were wringing incredible sounds from it, and world domination loomed on an electrifying musical and cultural horizon. The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster puts that visceral thrill in your hands, with features including a lightweight alder body, tinted maple neck with ’60s-style “oval C”-shaped profile, dark rosewood fingerboard with your choice of a 7.25” radius and vintage frets or a more modern 9.5” radius with 6105 frets, Custom Shop ’60s pickups with three-way switching and vintage wiring or more modern five-way switching, bone nut, three-ply mint green pickguard, and vintage hardware.
