General

The Fender Vintage Hot Rod '50s Stratocaster has one leg in the fifties, and the other one in the present. This premium, Fiesta Red solid-body combines vintage Stratocaster features with modern mods to result in a tasteful instrument with a sublime sound. This guitar is a pure American Fender workshop thoroughbred, assuring you of great quality. From its three specially-selected vintage pickups to the use of nitrocellulose lacquer, this Hot Rod '50s Strat is highly desirable.

Vintage Hot Rod 50s Strat, Fiesta Red

Premium features of this Fender guitar include its ash body, the maple neck and fretboard, 6105 (narrow jumbo) frets, genuine bone string nut, and a high-gloss finished headstock. Its pickups are an especially attractive feature, as they consist of a Texas Special single-coil (bridge), an American Vintage '56 Strat single-coil (middle) and an American Vintage '59 Strat single-coil (neck). All three of these pickups are very characteristic and offer you with the coveted tonal spectrum of the Strat in all its glory.

Tweed case

An instrument as special as this deserves proper packaging. As such, this Strat comes in a luxury vintage-style tweed case that allows for worry-free touring. An accessory vintage-style cable, guitar strap, tremolo springs and wrenches are also part of this delivery. The Fiesta Red (it also comes as a Sunburst version) Vintage Hot Rod 50s Strat is a highly powerful joint-venture of fifties styling and modern-day guitar building.

Wrote the following about Fender Vintage Hot Rod 50s Stratocaster Fiesta Red

Je suis l'heureux possesseur de ce modèle de guitare j'ai comparé avec la strat highway one que je possède depuis plusieurs années .
Le son de la hot rod a un bien meilleur sustain, les graves sont plus profonds, La forme du manche V est agréable, on s'y fait trés vite, Le vernis sur le manche est un peu désagreable " sticky " diraient nos amis anglos saxons, un petit passage sur le dos du manche avec de laine de fer triple zéro à résolu le problème. Reste le plaisir ..
