The Fender Stratocaster is probably the most iconic guitar ever produced and the Fender Custom Shop ’61 Stratocaster is a fitting addition to this legendary line.
The Alder body is finished in and awesome Aged Ocean Turquoise over 3-Tone Sunburst, one of Fender’s most iconic finishes, it’s a real beauty! Authentically aged, this finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further. The thin nitro finish also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively.
The Quartersawn Maple neck has a smooth finish. With a 9.5″ radius and 21 6100 frets, the ’61 Custom Shop Stratocaster can handle anything you throw at it without even breaking a sweat; it’s supremely comfortable and well balanced. The 60 Style Oval C profile is a joy to play and offers a great platform for both rhythm and lead playing. It measures at .790″ at the 1st fret and .980″ at the 12th
Loaded with a Hand Wound Texas Special pickups it delivers all the sweeping, versatile tones you would expect from a Strat. With a crisp harmonic content and a really refined and precise tone,
Supplied with a Fender Custom Shop hard case, this is a real sweet example of Custom Shop quality.
