Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster #R127670 - closet classic black

Based on a "1969 Stratocaster Base Model", the solidbody electric guitar FENDER Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster Closet Classic #R127670 (9237002010) features a two-piece Alder body, quarter-sawn round-lam Maple fingerboard (radius 9.5" radius, 1960 Oval C neck profile, vintage-style frets), and hand-wound 1969 Fat hand-wound pickups. Sold with Fender Custom Shop hardshell case. Fender Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass or Jazz Bass are referential, timeless. They are an integral part of the history of amplified music, having made a major contribution to its expansion and democratization. Ideally, you'd like to be the proud owner of an original from the 50s or 60s, but the price of vintage instruments is so high that it's difficult for anyone to get access to them. The Fender Custom Shop offers without question the most realistic replica-reeditions on the market, employing manufacturing techniques and tooling similar to those used to create vintage Fender instruments.
It goes without saying that the quality of these reproductions is also due to the excellence of the components selected, and the meticulousness with which the craftsmen create these masterpieces. Time Machine: the dealers present at NAMM 1995 were totally blown away by the level of realism of the first two Relic models Fender presented to them that year (a '51 Nocaster and a '56 Mary Kaye Stratocaster). Most mistook them for original Fenders.
The early-aging process developed by Fender has now become a way of life, and accounts for the bulk of Custom Shop sales.
