Join us in welcoming this Fender Custom Shop ‘66 Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic—a pure vintage-inspired marvel that stands as a testament to Fender's unyielding commitment to top-tier craftsmanship and premium tonal quality. Drawing from the storied legacy of 1966, this Stratocaster pays homage to an era of innovation and distinctive aesthetics.

The 2-piece alder body offers a solid base, setting the tone with durability and exceptional resonance. Its '66 Strat shape maintains the classic appeal, reflecting the time-honored Fender legacy. All covered in a delectable Faded Aged Candy Apple Red Nitrocellulose Gloss finish, a color that carries a sense of nostalgia, yet remains appealing to modern sensibilities.

This model presents a 5/4 quarter-sawn maple neck that uniquely departs from tradition, featuring an unfinished back—a design decision that affords players an intimate, smooth grip. The neck is further adorned with an AAA Rosewood fingerboard embedded with Mother of Pearl dots. Modernizing the vintage roots, the neck flaunts a 9.50" radius, a notable upgrade that delivers enhanced playability, while the presence of 21 Medium Jumbo 6105 frets lets you dig in to every note played.

At the heart of this Stratocaster, a trio of hand-wired Vintage '65 Strat pickups, each with the Closet Classic treatment, offers a versatile array of tonal possibilities, harnessed by Vintage Mod Strat #2 electronics and a 5-way pickup selector.

This ‘66 Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic is more than an electric guitar—it's a journey into a golden era of guitar crafting, manifesting Fender's commitment to preserve its rich history while pushing the boundaries of guitar design and technology.
