Fender Custom Shop 2014 /1960 Stratocaster NOS Fiesta Red w/Tracking w/hard case

Description

We have just received a 2014 Fender Custom Shop Team Built "1960 Stratocaster NOS"!

It features the highly popular Fiesta Red finish. With its alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, it boasts classic specifications reminiscent of early '60s Stratocasters. This instrument allows you to fully appreciate both its classic aesthetic and the meticulous craftsmanship unique to the Custom Shop.

The neck shape is modeled after Stratocasters from around 1960; it retains a comfortable thickness while remaining easy to grip, offering a feel that handles everything from chord work to lead playing with ease. Combined with the smooth touch of the rosewood fingerboard, it delivers a truly vintage-style playing experience.

Tonally, it offers a well-balanced sound that combines the quick attack and sparkling highs characteristic of a Stratocaster with a solid, defined core. In clean settings, string separation is excellent, allowing for the expression of delicate nuances during rhythm work and arpeggios. Pushing the amp slightly yields a pleasing overdrive sound with a touch of satisfying "chewiness" in the mid-range.

The delicate tones available in the neck and "in-between" (half) positions are particularly captivating, making the guitar suitable for a wide range of genres—from blues and rock to funk and pop. It responds beautifully to picking dynamics, directly translating the player's touch into sound with great expressiveness.

The combination of the Fiesta Red body and rosewood fingerboard creates a fantastic vibe, resulting in the refined, classic look typical of a '60s Stratocaster. As an NOS (New Old Stock) model, it offers a clean, understated elegance that contrasts with relic models.

This instrument offers a perfect balance of the high-level craftsmanship unique to the Fender Custom Shop and vintage-inspired specifications based on the Stratocasters of the early 1960s. This guitar is recommended not only for those seeking the classic Stratocaster sound but also for players looking for a highly practical instrument that incorporates the feel of a vintage guitar.
