The Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom '59 Hardtail Strat in Sonic Blue celebrates a milestone year in Stratocaster history with impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. 1959 marked the introduction of several iconic changes to the Stratocaster, including the addition of a slab rosewood fingerboard with clay position dots, offering enhanced playability and tonal depth. This faithful reissue showcases a pristine Sonic Blue finish, beautifully highlighting the timeless elegance of this classic design. The three-ply mint green pickguard, a hallmark of the era, is crafted to period-correct specifications, including the use of 8, 9, or 10 screws depending on the month of production—a nod to the original instruments' transitional details.
