In via trade! This is one of the very few Fender Custom Shop hardtail Strats I’ve come across. It’s also a ‘50s style with a nice thick neck and single-ply guard. Finished in a white blonde with a nitro ‘flash-coat’, it sure is an elegant look. This beauty features a 7.25”- 9.5” compound radius, maple fretboard, and medium vintage 47095 fretwire.

Other features include a lightweight ash body, 1954 U neck shape, hardtail bridge, and hand-wound ‘55 Strat pickups. The neck profile measures .900” at the first fret and .970” at the 12^th fret. Also comes with the original case, spec sheet, and certificate.

How Does It Play?

The truss rod functions properly and the guitar sets up nicely. The string action sits at just above 4/64” on the low E string, and right at 4/64” on the high E string, measured at the 12^th fret.
