Originally supplied in an HSS configuration, it came from the Custom Shop loaded with a Seymour Duncan SH-4 humbucker and a pair of Texas Special single coils, with the switching handled by Fender’s S-1 system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clever bit is that you get both pickup configurations with the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the original four-ply tortoiseshell HSS guard, the guitar comes with the now-discontinued “Fatboy” nitrate vintage-style pickguard, loaded with a set of Fender Custom Shop Fat ’50s single coils. So you can run it as the original HSS setup for something a little more modern and versatile, or swap to the Fat ’50s-loaded guard for a more traditional, fat ’60s Strat sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a genuinely useful combination and makes this a particularly versatile Custom Shop Strat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar has an Alder body, Nitro finish and an oval ’60s-style neck with a beautiful AAA Rosewood fingerboard.

Nothing excessive — it's been used but certainly not abused. The frets are good and the guitar has an excellent setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are also a few very fine hairline cracks around the neck pocket. These are fairly common on Nitro-finished Custom Shop Fenders and, importantly, are not structural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes with the original Fender brown Tolex case, along with the original paperwork and case accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great Custom Shop Strat with a particularly useful trick up its sleeve — two very different pickup configurations in one guitar, and both included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease study the photos carefully as they form part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57457662525815,"sku":"G5019","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2672\/6709\/files\/G5019_01.jpg?v=1789833317","url":"https:\/\/motomusic.co.uk\/products\/fender-custom-shop-60s-reissue-stratocaster-nos","provider":"MotoMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
