*** B Stock ***
This guitar sustained some cosmetic finish damage when it was knocked into another guitar. There is a small chip near the neck pocket on the back, and some marks and one chip on the back of the guitar. The top, neck and fretboard are unscathed. See photos. Save some bucks, this is still a brand new guitar.
Here’s a Fender Custom Shop 59 Vintage Custom hardtail Strat in NOS sonic blue with a mint green pickguard and nice dark rosewood fretboard. One of my favorite color combos.
Fender sez: “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″) AAA rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium vintage frets.
Hand-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. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.”
