[PREORDER] Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster HSS Relic Electric Guitar, Shell Pink Metallic

The limited edition Fender '59 Stratocaster HSS Relic RW Shell Pink Metallic #CZ585769 presents the electric guitar classic in an authentic late fifties finish with a powerful HSS setup. As a genuine offshoot of the Fender Custom store in Corona, California, the instrument offers a particularly fine tonewood selection and boasts first-class components and classic dimensions. Naturally, a traditional G&G hardshell Case and a hand-signed certificate of authenticity are also included in the scope of delivery.

Like the classic models of the fifties, the '59 Stratocaster HSS Relic RW Shell Pink Metallic also features the unbeatable tonewood combination of a solid alder body and a four-piece bolt-on maple neck. The neck is made from select radially-sawn maple and has a distinctive 11/56 Off Center V profile for absolute control over Chords and lead playing. The compound radius, which rises from 7.25" near the nut to 9.5" in the higher registers, skillfully supports the left hand and creates the best conditions for carefree fingering across all frets.

The HSS pickup configuration gives the Fender '59 Stratocaster HSS Relic RW Shell Pink Metallic the incomparable charm of a lovingly modified instrument and provides plenty of power for hot riffs. While two hand-wound Fender Fat '60s single coils are used in the neck and middle position, the Seymour Duncan SH-1b '59 humbucker provides warm double coil sounds with powerful output. The '59 Stratocaster HSS is therefore geared towards classic applications as well as being easily available for hotter rock and metal sounds.
