Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom ’59 Stratocaster – Faded Graffiti Yellow #R141887
A Faithful Tribute to a Golden Era
The Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom ’59 Stratocaster in Faded Graffiti Yellow is a meticulous recreation of one of Fender’s most iconic years. Built with period-correct details and subtle modern refinements, this Strat captures the spirit of the late ’50s while delivering exceptional playability and tone.
Premium Craftsmanship & Playability
The lightweight alder body is finished in a thin Flash Coat lacquer, enhancing resonance and giving the guitar the feel of a vintage, well-played instrument. Its rift-sawn maple neck with a ’59 Esquire “C” profile provides a comfortable grip, while the AAA dark-sorted rosewood fingerboard offers smooth playability with a 7.25″-9.5″ compound radius – perfect for both vintage chord work and modern lead playing.
High-Output Seymour Duncan Hot Rails
Equipped with Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickups, this Stratocaster delivers thick, powerful tones with boosted mids, sustain, and output – ideal for rock and modern blues – while still retaining the shimmering highs that make the Strat legendary. Combined with a vintage-style tremolo, it offers expressive versatility for both subtle vibrato and bold dive-bombs.
Authentic Vintage Detailing
Every detail has been carefully considered, from the relic’d black pickguard to the aged chrome/nickel hardware, ensuring the guitar looks as authentic as it sounds. Supplied with a Custom Shop tweed case, it’s a true collector’s piece as well as a professional performer’s instrument.
