The Time Capsule Finish with intact nitrocellulose flash coat and the tradition-conscious construction with ash body and strong maple neck here convey the playing feel of a factory original from the time, while hand-wound '55 Strat single coils and the historically accurate circuitry elicit diverse Vintage sounds from the guitar amp. In addition to the namesake, fixed 6-saddle bridge strings-thru-body complete tuning stable Vintage-Style tuners the equipment of the Vintage Custom '55 Hardtail Strat from the Fender Custom store.

Historically correct construction

To achieve the most authentic feel and sound of a Strat from 1955, the Fender Custom store relies on tradition-conscious manufacturing methods and carefully selected woods for the Vintage Custom '55 Hardtail Strat. The body of the is accordingly made of two-piece ash, with the generous shapings on the front and back let the guitar fit comfortably to the body. While the lush "1954 and profile of the bolt-on, one-piece Riftsawn Maple neck feels rich but comfortable in the hand, the fingerboard's Vintage compound radius, which increases from 7.25" to 9.5", allows for easy chord fingering in the lower registers and trouble-free stringing in the higher registers.

Handmade in the custom store, '55 Strat single coils and historically accurate circuitry promise diverse vintage tones of the highest quality.

Hand-Wound '55 Single Coils for Authentic Sounds

Three Custom Shop Hand -Wound '55 single coils are responsible for the electrical sound transformation of the Vintage Custom '55 Hardtail Strat. The hand-made single coils based on historical models convince with authentic Vintage sounds that combine the typical Strat spank and a lively response, making the electric guitar a musical all-rounder for almost every genre between blues, funk and rock. The pickups of the '55 Hardtail Strat are also controlled via a historically correct 5-way circuit, which, in addition to the general master volume control, has its own tone pots for the neck and middle pickups.

Strings-Through Body Hardtail

Of course, the Fender Custom store completes the Vintage Custom '55 Hardtail Strat MN Aged White Blonde with historically accurate attachments in a subtle Closet Classic finish. The bridge is of course the eponymous 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Hardtail, which not only guarantees an exact adjustment of intonation and string action, but also contributes significantly to the characterful sound of the guitar by guiding the strings through the body and the tailpieces made of bent sheet steel. At the other end of the guitar, Fender Vintage-Style tuners also ensure accurate and robust tuning of the electric guitar.
