The 1960’s were a period of innovation, so we honored the spirit of the time by including a 9’5” radius (a modern upgrade) and a the Fender ½ blender which allows you to blend in the neck pickup in the 1st and 2nd position by way of the first tone knob. The slab rosewood fretboard is joined to a rift sawn maple neck to enhance the resonance of the neck. Finally, the Chicago Special pickups we’re created with Mike Lewis to ensure a balanced output across every pole piece. The Alnico 5 magnets are wrapped in 42 gauge enamel wire, and potted in shellac to recreate the round highs, and wide open frequency range of a vintage pickup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Strat pickups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalibrated set - bridge to neck - for balanced output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach pickup as custom AlNiCo 5 magnet stagger for optimum output balance string-to-string\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 gauge enamel wire for round highs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotted in shellac for open wide range frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9237100253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number: \u003c\/b\u003eR122515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Lush Closet Classic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7lbs 13oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Violin Burst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\/Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e American Vintage Strat Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Strat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Strat 1\/2 Blender\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e R Serial Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Plate \u0026amp; Trem Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e Strat Parchment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTremolo Arm:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Upgraded 60s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTremolo Arm Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Aged\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage w\/Fender Logo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Guide:\u003c\/b\u003e American Vintage 59-64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010-.046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 60 Strat CC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Light Tint Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple Rift Sawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood 9mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e 60s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Small\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.575\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta White .250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta White 3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Sanko 6105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e 59 Style \"C\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .860\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .980\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard Black Micarta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts:\u003c\/b\u003e 4-Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e 56-60 Strat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e 60 Strat 3-Ply G\/B\/G Nitro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-wound \"Chicago Special\" Strat Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Middle:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-wound \"Chicago Special\" Strat Mid RWRP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-wound \"Chicago Special\" Strat Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Small Font Vintage White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSelector Switch Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Small Font Vintage White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePots:\u003c\/b\u003e 250k 105 Taper Split\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch:\u003c\/b\u003e 5-Way Selector\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage White","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40014076870791,"sku":"9237100253-R122515","price":4989.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-1960-stratocaster-chicago-special-lush-closet-classic-violin-burst-9237100253-r122515-29452442599559.jpg?v=1659553326","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1960-stratocaster-chicago-special-1334581","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
