1954 NOS Stratocaster Electric Guitar

This special guitar honors the Stratocaster's very first model year and is finely crafted with a rich selection of features and appointments, in addition to a New-Old-Stock treatment that creates the effect of a well-preserved, yet vintage instrument.The one-piece ash body is wonderfully light and responsive. It bares a nitrocellulose lacquer finish in a choice of colors that don't inhibit in any way the body's natural brightness or resonance.The one-piece quartersawn maple neck has a wonderfully comfortable 1954 "U"-shaped profile and tinted lacquer finish. The maple fingerboard has a 9.5" radius, slightly flatter than the original, and twenty-one 6105 frets for smooth modern playability.Three 1954 single-coil Stratocaster pickups deliver a singing original-era voice. They're not overwound and have just the right amount of response to capture all the gorgeous tone that the ash body and maple neck produce. A 5-way switch, instead of the original 3-way, is added to this vintage recreation, bringing the mixed-pickup settings that Strat players rely on.Other features include a single-ply white pickguard, synchronized tremolo bridge withBody Body shape: Double cutaway Body type: Solid body Body material: Solid wood Top wood: Not applicable Body wood: Alder Body finish: Gloss Lacquer Orientation: Right handed Neck Neck shape: 1954 U Neck wood: Maple Quartersawn Joint: Bolt-on Scale length: 25.5" Truss rod: Standard Neck finish: Gloss Fretboard Material: Maple Radius: 9.5" Fret size: Medium jumbo Number of frets: 21 Inlays: Dot Nut width: 1.65" (42mm) Pickups Configuration: SSS Neck: 1954 single-coil Stratocaster Middle: 1954 single-coil Stratocaster Bridge: 1954 single-coil Stratocaster Brand: Fender Custom shop Active or passive: Passive Series or parallel: Series Piezo: No Active EQ: No Special electronics: None Controls Control layout: Master volume, tone Pickup switch: 5-way Coil tap or split: No Kill switch: No Hardware Bridge type: Tremolo/Vibrato Bridge design: Vintage synchronized tremolo Tailpiece: Not applicable Tuning machines: Deluxe vintage Color: Chrome Other Number of strings: 6-string Special features: NOS treatment Case: Hardshell case Accessories: Cable, strap, certificate of authenticity Country of origin: United States
