he Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster® NOS in Olympic White perfectly captures the spirit of late-’50s craftsmanship and tone. Built by Fender’s elite Custom Shop team, this remarkable instrument features a 2-piece select alder body finished in smooth Nitrocellulose Lacquer for vintage authenticity. The rift-sawn maple neck sports a comfortable 1960 “Oval C” profile, AAA rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius, and 21 jumbo (6100) frets for modern playability with classic feel.
A trio of Custom Shop hand-wound Texas Special single-coil pickups delivers the unmistakable Strat sparkle, warmth, and bite — from glassy cleans to bluesy grit. Premium appointments include vintage-style hardware, parchment 11-hole pickguard, bone nut, and a Limited Edition engraved neck plate.
Complete with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity, this NOS Stratocaster embodies timeless Fender tone and meticulous craftsmanship in a truly collectible instrument.
