Our Take:
The Custom Shop really nailed it with this one. This is a guitar that is vintage-styled with some contemporary-inspired features, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a true-to-origins instrument with a couple of twists thrown in. We’re big fans of the Wide-Fade 2-Color Sunburst and the Closet Classic hardware, and the hand-wound ’55 Strat pickups absolutely rip!
Fender’s Take:
In the formative years following the Stratocaster’s groundbreaking debut in 1954, it saw slight tweaks and modifications that helped firmly establish its legacy as the finest electric guitar ever made. The Vintage Custom 1955 Stratocaster has some cool, rare features that we feel represent the best of the origins of the Strat® and gives you a glimpse into the innovations that were crucial in its development. The NOS flash-coat lacquer finish lets the guitar breathe and shows some of the natural grain through its wide-fade 2-Color Sunburst finish. The neck features a vintage 7.25″-9.5″ compound radius, which we found on some rare examples, giving it a unique feel even among vintage-inspired models. It also features medium vintage frets, which are slightly larger than standard vintage size and very comfortable to play.
Other features found on this guitar include Closet Classic hardware, a 2-piece ash body, tinted maple rift-sawn neck with a ’54 “U”-shaped neck profile, 21 medium vintage frets, hand-wound ’55 Strat pickups with transitional ’54 covers, 5’way switch, vintage wiring, American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, bone cute, round string tree and vintage-style tuning machines.
The Vintage Custom 1955 Stratocaster is the legendary guitar you know and love with some rare “what could have been“ flair. Includes a deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
