Used Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom '57 Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Aged White Blonde

Fender Vintage Custom '57 Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Aged White Blonde

Step back into the golden age of electric guitar with this stunning Vintage Custom '57 Stratocaster. Inspired by the legendary "Mary Kaye" Strat—famously featured in early Fender ads—this guitar is a pitch-perfect recreation of one of the most elegant and sought-after models from the late '50s. Its beautiful Aged White Blonde finish over a lightweight ash body is not only visually striking but, thanks to the NOS flash coat lacquer, allows the tonewood to truly sing, giving you maximum resonance and sustain that will only get better with age.

The neck is a dream, crafted from rift sawn maple and shaped into a comfortable '57 Soft "V" profile that feels authentically vintage in your hands. But the true magic lies in the electronics: a trio of Hand-Wound '57 Strat single-coil pickups. These pickups are the heart and soul of the classic Strat tone—that bell-like chime, snappy attack, and endless versatility that defined the sound of rock and roll, blues, and surf music. Think of the groundbreaking tones laid down by pioneers like Buddy Holly, or the later blues masters who adopted this legendary platform. This is your chance to own that iconic sound and feel.
