With this '59 Strat in Bleached 2 Tone Sunburst Carlos Lopez shows impressively that he counted to the absolute upper league in the Fender Custom Shop. Unfortunately, he has left the Fender Custom Shop, but his guitars are now all the more sought after. With this Strat, he has not stinted with surcharge options. Assorted ash body, AA flame neck, AAA assorted extra dark rosewood fingerboard, gold aged anodized pickguard. Plus a killer look and aging at its finest. Also with the pickups Carlos Lopez has made exactly the right choice. Handwound Josefina pickups, 69 on the neck, Fat 50's Middle, Texas Special on the bridge. Just the right combination to get all the classic Strat sounds in top form. And the sound is in no way inferior to the look here! Earthy, expressive sound, optimal for the perfect blues sounds. The guitar responds incredibly well and is very balanced. The 9.5" radius, the 6105 frets and the powerful 65 Strat C Shape profile provide a perfect feel. The neck not only looks world class with its intense figured maple grain, but also feels great in the hand. It's a real shame that Carlos Lopez is no longer in the custom store. If you want to get hold of one of his masterpieces, don't wait too long. The guitar is in mint condition.
