Provenance

Why this one made the wall

Built by the Fender Custom Shop to a spec that isn't on their standard list: a '59 Stratocaster in Seminole Red with a white competition stripe, finished in New Old Stock nitro.

The two-piece alder body carries hand-wound '59 Strat pickups under white covers, with a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle, a 5-way switch and an American Vintage bridge with an upgraded '60s arm.

The neck is quartersawn maple in a '59 Esquire "C" profile, .790" at the first fret and .970" at the twelfth. It has real depth to it, for players who like something to hold onto. On top is a dark-sorted AAA rosewood slab board with a 9.5" radius and 21 narrow tall 6105 frets.

8 lb 7 oz. It comes in a brown Fender Custom Shop hardshell case with the certificate of authenticity, strap and case candy.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses our bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Our tech's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Yes, in Canada and the US. Buyers in both countries can choose Shop Pay Installments as the payment method at checkout, and Canadian buyers can also choose PayPlan by RBC. The exact terms come from the provider and are shown to you before you agree to anything.

Financing never changes the price of the guitar. More on Financing.
