{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-limited-edition-59-reissue-stratocaster-closet-classic","title":"Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '59 Reissue Stratocaster Closet Classic","description":"\u003cp\u003eA very special Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster, combining a ’56-style body with a ’59 specification and finished in beautifully faded Sonic Blue. This is a Limited Edition 1959 Journeyman Stratocaster Closet Classic from 2020, and it is a particularly characterful example with a superb combination of vintage-inspired features and Custom Shop appointments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alder body has the contoured ’56-style profile, while the finish is a wonderfully faded Sonic Blue that gives the guitar the appearance of a well-loved vintage Strat without becoming overly relic’d. The Custom Shop engraved backplate is a lovely touch, and the guitar has the kind of understated aesthetic that really suits this specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is a maple rift-sawn neck with a medium tint, paired with a dark rosewood fingerboard, white dot inlays and a comfortable 9.5\" radius. Narrow-tall frets give the guitar a very precise, articulate feel under the fingers while retaining plenty of the character and response you would expect from a vintage-inspired Stratocaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics are exactly where this guitar really shines, with three hand-wound Tomatillo single-coil, slightly underwound vintage voiced pickups controlled by a traditional five-way blade selector. The pickups deliver everything you could want from a great Strat: glassy and articulate in the neck position, beautifully open in the in-between settings, and with plenty of punch and authority from the bridge. There is a wonderful balance between clarity, snap and warmth, making this an exceptionally versatile instrument for everything from clean rhythm work through to classic blues and driven amp tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 7.96lb, it has a reassuringly substantial feel without being excessively heavy, and the overall combination of the ’56 body style, ’59-inspired specification, faded Sonic Blue finish and Tomatillo pickups makes this a particularly appealing Custom Shop Strat for anyone looking for something a little different from the usual recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA genuinely superb Stratocaster with a great set of specifications and a wonderfully convincing vintage character. A serious player's instrument, and a lovely example of what the Fender Custom Shop does so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold with its original Tweed case, case accessories, shop floor traveller and certificate of authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57436338618743,"sku":"G4954","price":3599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2672\/6709\/files\/G4954_01.jpg?v=1788448578","url":"https:\/\/motomusic.co.uk\/products\/fender-custom-shop-limited-edition-59-reissue-stratocaster-closet-classic","provider":"MotoMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
