Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster NOS RW Shell Pink with Deluxe Case and CoA

General

1963 is a special year in the Stratocaster legend and, by some, is considered the pinnacle of Fender design. Here, the Fender Custom Shop presents an ode to that golden age in the form of the Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster NOS electric guitar. This reissued icon features a nitrocellulose new-old-stock finish in singular Shell Pink, while the body has been shaped from two specially selected chunks of alder and combined with a stunning AAA flamed maple neck. To really sweeten the deal, Fender has included a hardshell case, a strap and Certificate of Authenticity.

The Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster NOS: Retro-Modded

Really completing that 1963 feel, the Fender Custom Shop has given this model a real round laminated rosewood fretboard which is supported by a '60s-style Oval-C Back-Shape neck profile for an immediately snug feel in the fret-hand. The modded features come in the form of a set of twenty-one Stewmac #155 frets and a slightly flatter 9.5 inch fretboard radius. Piling on the upgrades, three hand-wound Fender single-coils have been mounted onto the pickguard, planting a Texas Special at the bridge while a Fat '60 Middle Pickup and a '65 Neck Pickup take up the other positions. All of the electronics pass through Fat '50s Half-Blender wiring and are controlled via a single tone pot, a single volume pot and a special Blender pot for mixing the output of the bridge and neck pickups to open up a can of even more sonic options.
