Brandishing a premium pairing of roasted tonewoods, the Fender Custom Shop Limited-edition Roasted Stratocaster Special NOS guides the time-tested 50s Stratocaster formula through a choice set of modern detours. First off, this guitars 2-piece alder body and chunky large C quarter-sawn maple neck are both roasted a process that dramatically reduces moisture content, resulting in lighter weight and a more resonant response.
The flat-lam rosewood fingerboards 9.5-inch radius and 21 narrow-tall frets then supplies you with a slick feel for smooth, supple bends from the first fret all the way up to the 21st. Under the hood, a trio of Custom Shop hand-wound Fat 50s Stratocaster pickups embolden the clear, bell-like snap of the Strats first decade with a thicker and more authoritative voice.
Its all bookended by classic vintage-style Fender tuning machines and a Custom Shop Vintage Synchronised Tremolo unit. For the guitarist hunting after a factory-fresh Strat that merges vintage-style tone with modern performance, youd be hard-pressed to beat the Fender Custom Shop Limited-edition Roasted Stratocaster Special NOS.
