Key Features of TCP Models
- Finish Condition: Clean, glossy New Old Stock (NOS) style finish without dregs, scratches, or weather checking.
- Aged Components: Hardware and plastics may still subtly reflect vintage accuracy, but the body has no artificial "relic" damage.
- Vibe: Captures the pure essence of a brand-new instrument straight out of a golden-era year like 1952 or 1959.
Fender's Custom Shop 1957 Time Capsule Stratocaster hearkens back to the heart of Fender's Golden Age, when their design and execution was first hitting its prime. It comes fully-loaded with a set of three hand-wound '57 Stratocaster single-coil pickups that combine with modern five-way switching to put a wealth of classic tones at your disposal. Faithful to and inspired by many original design elements, it is also packed with a full roster of authentic vintage appointments, including a '57 soft "V" maple neck, Medium Vintage / 47095 frets, Closet Classic hardware, and vintage-style tuning machines. It also features an exceptionally comfortable 7.25” to 9.5” compound radius fingerboard, making playability top-notch no matter what register you’re playing in. The combination of its deeply-contoured alder body and flash coat lacquer finish also provides the perfect blend of resonance and sustain, making it an excellent all-around tribute to the original designs, and provides familiar, full-bodied Strat tone time and again.
