The Fender Custom Shop 1957 Stratocaster Relic in Aged White Blonde captures the timeless look, feel, and unmistakable character of one of Fender's most iconic vintage instruments. Built around an ash body finished in aged White Blonde nitrocellulose lacquer, this Stratocaster delivers classic vintage aesthetics with the exceptional craftsmanship expected from the Fender Custom Shop. The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable 1957 Soft "V" profile, measuring .850" at the first fret and .990" at the twelfth fret, and is paired with a maple fingerboard featuring a modern 9.5-inch radius. Twenty-one narrow-tall 6105 frets provide a smooth, comfortable playing surface, while the single-ply parchment pickguard completes its authentic vintage-inspired appearance.
A set of hand-wound 1957 Stratocaster single-coil pickups delivers the unmistakable sparkle, warmth, and articulation associated with the golden era of Fender guitars. The reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup helps reduce unwanted hum in the combined pickup positions, while the five-way switching provides access to a versatile range of classic Stratocaster tones. Traditional hardware includes an American Vintage bridge and American Vintage tuning machines, preserving the familiar feel and performance of a vintage-inspired Strat. Combining period-correct styling, carefully selected tonewoods, hand-wound pickups, and Custom Shop Relic craftsmanship, this 1957 Stratocaster is an exceptional tribute to the instrument that helped define the sound of modern electric guitar.
