Custom Shop Craftsmanship and Vintage Aesthetics

This Fender Custom Shop AM Custom Stratocaster RW NOS blends timeless vintage appeal with expert craftsmanship.

The NOS (New Old Stock) treatment ensures the guitar looks and feels like a vintage piece straight from the golden era of electric guitars, without any artificial relic wear.

Comfortable Neck Profile and Premium Rosewood Fingerboard

The guitar features a quartersawn maple neck with a '60s-style Strat "Fat '60s" back shape and a dark rosewood fretboard. It’s designed for ultimate comfort, whether you're rhythm chording or soloing up high. The fingerboard features a compound radius of 9.5" to 12", with 21 narrow tall frets for excellent intonation and easy playability. The vintage-style tuning machines and bone nut add even more authenticity and tuning stability.

Fat '60s Strat Pickups for Classic Fender Tone

Whether you're playing clean, bluesy riffs or driving it through overdrive for rock and roll grit, these pickups provide dynamic range and tonal versatility. The vintage-style wiring includes a five-way switch with modern Strat tone control layout, offering familiar yet flexible options.

High-Quality Hardware and Vintage Touches
