Fender Custom Shop Jeff Beck Signature Stratocaster Guitar, Olympic White

Description

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

A fine Stratocaster with superb playability and tone, this axe combines the vision of one of the greatest guitar players in music history, the late Jeff Beck, with the precise craftsmanship of Fender's Custom Shop. It's a fine specimen, indeed. The immaculate build quality and overall construction of this guitar truly makes playing absolutely effortless. Wailing away on the trem bar no longer compromises your intonation and the LSR roller nut even helps when you're just doing bends, too. 

The sound is at once nuanced and huge. There's plenty of detail up top, but a heaping portion of warmth and sustain throughout. The dual-coil pickups preserve authentic single-coil sound but get rid of all that extra noise when you're just using one pickup. It's the best of both worlds!

The neck shape is just right - you'll be able to get around every nook of this board with ease. It's a bit thinner than Fender's vintage-style Stratocaster offerings, and the fretboard is wonderfully rounded over on the edges so that the neck just sits perfectly in your hand. Topped off with great fretwork and that ineffable Custom Shop magic, this guitar will be a valuable addition to your stable for decades, whether you're a Jeff Beck fan or not.

Details

From his blistering British Invasion beginnings through his amazingly varied solo career and right up to today, Jeff Beck has made the Stratocaster® guitar an integral part of his signature sound. The Jeff Beck Signature Stratocaster features a thinner C-shaped maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and a contoured heel for easier access to the higher registers. Further, it’s “Wired” with dual ceramic Noiseless™ pickups and has a two-point synchronized tremolo with stainless steel saddles, LSR roller nut, aged knobs and pickup covers, and Beck’s signature on the headstock.
