The Fender Custom Shop 1956 Stratocaster NOS captures the magic of a true golden-era Strat, delivering the look, feel, and soul of an instrument that’s been making music for generations. Every detail, from the Cimarron finish to the comfortabe neck, evokes the character of a guitar that has spent decades on stages and in studios. It feels instantly familiar in your hands, like an old friend that’s already been part of your musical journey.

Its lively alder body and quartersawn maple neck create the kind of resonance and responsiveness that players dream about. Notes bloom with clarity, chords ring with depth, and every nuance of your touch comes through with remarkable detail. The soft C-shaped neck profile strikes a perfect balance between vintage character and modern comfort, making it equally rewarding whether you’re digging into rhythm parts or stretching out with expressive lead work.

Loaded with hand-wound single-coil pickups, this Strat delivers everything players love about classic Fender tone. Sparkling cleans, rich midrange character, and that unmistakable Strat chime are all here in abundance, with a dynamic response that encourages you to explore every position on the switch. The Fender Custom Shop 1956 Stratocaster NOS is a masterfully crafted tribute to one of the most important electric guitars ever built. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
