These specifications offer a highly playable instrument that perfectly captures the vintage tones of the era. This guitar is mint, showing no play wear, and is a delight to hold.
Enhanced Playability and Comfort

Superior Sound Quality
The alder body is ideal for a Strat, delivering excellent tones whether clean or overdriven. Combined with the hand-wound '50s spec pickups, the guitar offers a rich, less-bright-than-ash tone that excels in both clean and dirty settings. The aged Salmon Pink finish and 1-ply white pickguard add to the guitar's vintage aesthetic. The hand-wound '50s spec Stratocaster pickups provide phenomenal sound, with a master volume, two tone controls, and a 5-way switch offering all the essential Strat tones. These pickups respond dynamically to volume and tone adjustments, enhancing musicality and expressiveness.
Functional and Aesthetic Details
The guitar's master volume, two tone controls, and 5-way switch allow for versatile sound exploration, from crisp and clear to rich and melodic tones. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect the high standards of Fender’s Custom Shop, making this '57 Stratocaster a true work of art in both aesthetics and performance.
