I received this guitar as a settlement and quickly realized a more modern guitar fits my playing style best.VINTAGE 1959 STRATOCASTER STYLEFor the guitarist who craves pure vintage Fender style, the American Vintage series presents original-era model year guitars built with meticulous attention to accurate detail that bring Fender history and heritage to authentic and exciting new life.The American Vintage ’59 Stratocaster is available in two authentic versions of the transitional 1959 model—one from early that year and one from later that year. As it accompanied rock ‘n’ roll into the wild new 1960s, the 1959 Stratocaster was an instrument poised for impending greatness. That special vibe is built into the DNA of this U.S.-made guitar, based directly on real-deal 1959 models we tracked down and crafted with original tooling and pure Strat style and feel.FEATURESSlim-profile neck with 1959 “D”-shaped profileMaple (early 1959 model) and “slab” rosewood (later 1959 model) fingerboardsVintage-accurate pickups with modern five-way switch; optional three-way switch includedSingle-ply eight-hole white pickguard (early 1959 model) and 10-hole three-ply mint green pickguard with beveled edges (later 1959 model)Aged plastic control knobsVintage-accurate bridge saddles, tuner spacing and moreBODYBody Material - Alder Body Finish - Fender Flash Coat Lacquer Body Shape - Stratocaster®NECKNeck Material - Maple Neck Finish - Fender Flash Coat Lacquer Neck Shape - "D" Shape  Scale Length - 25.5" (648 mm) Fingerboard Material - Slab Rosewood  Fingerboard Radius - 7.25" (184.1 mm) Number of Frets - 21 Fret Size - Vintage-Style Nut Material - Bone Nut Width - 1.650" (42 mm) Position Inlays - Pearloid Dot Truss Rod - Vintage-Style Butt AdjustELECTRONICSBridge Pickup American Vintage '59 Single-Coil Strat Middle Pickup American Vintage '59 Single-Coil Strat Neck Pickup American Vintage '59 Single-Coil Strat Controls Master VolumeTone 1.
