Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic Strat Lake Placid Blue

When the Custom Classic Stratocaster was first released by the Fender Custom Shop some years ago, they knew they had a winner on their hands. Priced just above the high end assembly line instruments, but built one at a time by hand in their Corona, California workshop, these guitars are reminiscent of the original strats and teles back in the 50's. They are no frills tools for working musicians looking for a guitar that plays great, looks great and is built to last a lifetime.

The Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic Strat you see here is a sharp looking axe. A classic color available from Fender as a custom order in the 50's and 60's, Lake Placid Blue is one of those finishes just looks amazing in person. The aged plastic parts are a nice touch too and give it the look of a vintage instrument. More than just looks, this Custom Shop Stratocaster was built to play. The 2-point synchronized tremolo and the staggered height tuning machines are modern updates that ensure this guitar rings like a bell and stays in tune all night. The perfectly shaped soft "C" neck is the most popular neck shape that Fender makes. No wonder. It just feel so comfortable in your hands you won't want to put it down. The 9.5" radius on the neck and the medium jumbo frets make this strat a true players guitar. You will be amazed at how well you play when you plug this puppy in.
