This '66 Stratocaster features a 2-Piece Select Alder Body finished in Relic'd Sunrise Gold, with a 4A Flame Maple Neck, Round-Lam 3A Flame Maple Fingerboard and Curtis Novak Gold Foil GTX-HMB pickup in the bridge with Josefina Hand-Wound '69 Strat pickups in the neck and middle positions.
A Fender Custom Shop instrument is extraordinary. You know it when you play one, it’s definitely more than the sum of its parts. It’s filled with intangible, electrifying elements that add a new dimension to your playing experience. It’s as if the instrument itself is imbued with history, alive with the spirit of the place where it was built and the devotion of those who crafted it.
The Custom Shop is home to Fender’s most skilled and talented builders. It’s a bustling, noisy and creatively volcanic place that re-earns its nickname — the Dream Factory, every day. Custom Shop builders are completely dedicated to their art. Part craftsman, part artist, part music fan and, more often than not, part mad scientist. They’re the best at what they do, and they pour all of their passion, hard-earned knowledge and skill into every instrument they build. It’s no ordinary place, and the creations that come from it are no ordinary instruments.
