An ash body in Aged White Blonde flash coat lacquer, with no aging, gold hardware, a 1-ply parchment pickguard and three Custom Shop Hand-Wound '57 Single-Coil Strat pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tinted rift sawn maple neck has a 1957 Soft \"V\" carve, a gentle V that sits between a round and a pointed back. The 7.25\" to 9.5\" compound radius is rounder near the nut for chords and flatter up the neck for single-note lines, with medium vintage frets. The bridge is a 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo, with tone controls on the neck and middle pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same year with heavy wear, look at the 1957 Stratocaster Heavy Relic.
