The Fender 1955 Stratocaster DLX Closet Classic Faded Aged Fiesta Red at a glance:
With the Fender Custom Shop 1955 Stratocaster DLX Closet Classic, the legendary guitar manufacturer presents a handmade Stratocaster that carries the spirit of the early Fender era. This exclusive electric guitar comes from the Time Machine Series and promises an authentic playing experience that you would only expect from an original '55 Strat.

Selected tonewoods and classic vintage hardware
The typical playing feel of the 1950s is provided by a maple neck with the classic 11/56 off-center "V" profile, which feels comfortable in the hand - especially when playing chords or fast single-note licks. Thanks to the 9.5" fingerboard radius and the 21 Narrow Tall (6105) frets, modern playability is achieved without losing the authentic vintage feel. The one-piece maple neck including fretboard is finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer, which not only corresponds to the original construction of the Fifties, but also gives the impression of a naturally developed patina. Typical vintage details such as the single-ply eggshell pickguard, the classic vintage tuners with Fender logo and the synchronized vintage tremolo round off the high-quality features.
Hand-wound Custom Shop '55 Strat single coils
Sonically, the 1955 Stratocaster DLX Closet Classic delivers exactly what you'd expect from such an iconic model: three Custom Shop Hand-Wound '55 Strat Single Coils, including an RWRP midrange pickup for noise reduction, produce bell-like highs, crunchy mids and excellent dynamics - perfect for everything from clean surf and blues sounds to distorted rock riffs. The traditional 5-way switching in combination with Fat '50s Strat Wiring provides an extended sound spectrum without compromising the vintage charm. A deluxe hardshell case, certificate of authenticity and a Fender strap are included - an all-round high-quality package for passionate Strat fans, collectors or professional musicians in search of the authentic Fender vintage sound.
