{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-vintage-custom-1959-hardtail-stratocaster-1378278","title":"Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Hardtail Stratocaster Faded Aged Sonic Blue","description":"1959 saw the advent of several important feature changes to the Stratocaster including a slab rosewood fingerboard with clay position dots, a three-ply mint green pickguard with 8, 9 or 10 screws depending on the month it was built, and a metal spacer added to the string tree. This hardtail version would have been on the rare side, which ups the collectability and cool factors. This guitar features a hand-selected two-piece alder body and a rift-sawn maple neck with a 1959 “D” profile, a vintage compound-radius (7.25” - 9.5”) rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium vintage frets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand-wound 1959 Strat pickups are wired to a vintage ’59 control assembly and five-way switch. Other features include Closet Classic hardware, three-ply eight-hole mint green pickguard, vintage-style hardtail bridge with patent pending saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree with metal spacer. Available in Faded Aged Sonic Blue and Chocolate Three-Color Sunburst finishes. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #: \u003c\/b\u003eR118076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e7 lbs 7 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Piece Select Alder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY FINISH: \u003c\/b\u003eLacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY SHAPE:\u003c\/b\u003e Stratocaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY MATERIAL:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-Piece Select Alder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003eRift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK FINISH: \u003c\/b\u003eNitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFINGERBOARD RADIUS:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25\" to 9.5\" Vintage Compound Radius (184 mm to 241 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFINGERBOARD MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003eFlat-Laminated Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePOSITION INLAYS:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Clay Dot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSIDE DOTS:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNUMBER OF FRETS: \u003c\/b\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTRING NUT:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNUT WIDTH: \u003c\/b\u003e1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNUT MATERIAL:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRIDGE: \u003c\/b\u003e6-Saddle Hardtail with \"Pat.
