Finished with that unmistakable Fender mojo and built by the Fender Custom Shop, this ’56 NOS Stratocaster from 2001 delivers true vintage‑style tone and feel straight out of the golden era of electric guitar design. It features a period‑correct nitrocellulose NOS finish in classic Sunburst, an alder body and a maple neck with a 10/56 V‑profile that invites effortless playability and authentic ’50s tone. Three Custom Shop‑spec single‑coil pickups bring that bell‑like chime, scooped mids and sparkling highs that Stratocaster purists crave, and the clean, timeless looks reflect meticulous craftsmanship you expect from a Custom Shop reissue.

This instrument is part of what makes the Custom Shop legend: guitars that are built to honour the originals while offering modern reliability and feel. Whether you’re a collector chasing vintage vibes or a player seeking classic Strat tone with Custom Shop pedigree, this ’56 NOS Stratocaster Sunburst has it all.
