Here for sale we have a Fender Classic Series '60s Stratocaster in 3-Colour Sunburst finish. Made in Mexico in 2008, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Gloss Maple neck and 21 Vintage-Style fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar has had a 2-point synchronized tremolo fitted whilst the original set of Fender Vintage-Style Split-Post tuning machines are featured. A trio of Fender Vintage-Style Strat Single-Coil pickups are installed, these are wired to a 5-way blade switch, master volume, neck and middle tone controls.
The Gloss Maple neck plays very well, with the ‘C’ profile sitting very comfortably in the hand and promotes ergonomic hand positioning, feeling smooth whilst providing an articulate playing experience. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and offers a tactile and durable playing surface, with the 7.25" radius working in conjunction with the Vintage-Style frets to produce an authentically vintage playing experience, allowing for vibrato techniques and complex chordings to be played with ease.
The Fender Vintage-Style Strat Single-Coil pickups provide all the classic Stratocaster tones that you coil wish for. The bridge pickup provides bright and glistening trebles with plenty of spank, power chords sound gritty, whilst also providing soaring lead tones. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone. The middle pickup produces bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The neck pickup has rounded creamer tones great for chordal phrasings or quick jazz style lines, whilst also handling higher gain settings masterfully, offering plenty of room for tonal sculpting.
