{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-vintage-custom-59-hardtail-strat","title":"Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom '59 Hardtail Strat","description":"\u003cp\u003e1959 brought the Strat a slab rosewood fingerboard with clay dots and a 3-ply mint green pickguard, and a hardtail from that year would have been a rare order. The Vintage Custom '59 Hardtail Strat recreates one on a two-piece select alder body, with three Custom Shop Hand-Wound '59 Single-Coil Strat pickups and a 6-saddle hardtail bridge with \"Pat. Pend.\" saddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat-laminated rosewood board has a 7.25\" to 9.5\" compound radius, rounder near the nut for chords and flatter up the neck, so bends are less likely to fret out, with Jescar Medium Vintage (47095) frets. With no tremolo there are no springs to balance, so string changes and alternate tunings are simpler. Tone controls work on the neck and middle pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same year with a tremolo, look at the Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster Rosewood. The Vintage Custom '55 Hardtail Strat is the earlier hardtail in ash with a maple neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst and Faded Aged Sonic Blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photos show one example.
