Flexible Strat with classic Style and contemporary detail solutions
The Fender 1955 Stratocaster Time Capsule MN AgedVintage White combines time-honored Strat design and modern detail solutions to create a surprisingly contemporary rock guitar with excellent handling and power-packed tone. While the bolt-on rift sawn maple neck can be easily played up to the highest registers thanks to the slim "Modern V" profile and the contoured neck heel, the HSS setup consisting of two Fat '50s single coils and the slim Seymour Duncan Lil' Screamin Demon humbucker provides classic rock and metal sounds with a distinct Eighties character. Last but not least, the FenderCustom store completes the 1955 Stratocaster Time Capsule MN AgedVintageWhite with a subtly modernized RSD Tremolo and Vintage-Style tuners.
The Fender 1955 Stratocaster Time Capsule MN Aged Vintage White combines classic styles with modernized playing characteristics and surprisingly powerful tones.
The rounded Contoured Heel allows the bolt-on Rift Sawn Maple neck to be played up to the highest registers with ease.
Classic woods and modern handling
Despite the classic styling, the 1955 Stratocaster Time Capsule convinces with a surprisingly contemporary handling, which also allows modern playing techniques to come out of the hand with ease. While the familiar "Contour Body" shaping allows the two-piece alder body to rest against the body with optimal balance, the rounded "Contoured Neck Heel" promises unobstructed access to the high registers of the bolt-on Rift Sawn Maple neck. The surprisingly slim "Modern V" profile with compound fingerboard radius also offers extremely comfortable playing characteristics. Last but not least, the ultra-thin "Time Capsule" Nitro finish promises a lively sound character with free resonance development.
Two Fender Fat '50s single coils and a Seymour Duncan Lil' Screamin Demon humbucker, along with the flexible circuitry, deliver multi-faceted guitar tones with tremendous punch.
Flexible and powerful guitar sounds
To elicit a flexible and powerful sound spectrum from the 1955 Stratocaster Time Capsule, the luthiers of the FenderCustom store rely on an HSS setup consisting of two classic single coils and a narrow humbucker in single-coil format at the bridge. While the Fender Fat '50s single co ils in neck and middle position deliver traditional vintage sounds with punchy basses, brilliant highs and an enormous transparency, the Seymour Duncan Lil' Screamin Demon humbucker stands for assertive distortion sounds with well-dosed bite, which are perfectly suited for fast riffing and virtuoso endless solos. In addition to the Greasebucket tone circuit, which prevents unwanted mashing when using the tone control by simultaneously reducing the treble and bass, Fender equips the electric guitar with the practical Strat-Blender circuit, and the otherwise unattainable combinations of neck and bridge pickup and all three pickups can be called up.
On the headstock with Custom Shop badge, vintage-style tuners ensure accurate tuning with unshakable stability.
Modern hardware equipment
Of course, Fender completes the 1955 Time Capsule Stratocaster MN AgedVintageWhite with first-class hardware that more than meets professional demands for shows and recording sessions. The traditionally styled Custom Shop RSD tremolo impresses with buttery-smooth handling thanks to the optimized lever travel and the adjustment screw for the lever's mobility, so that lead techniques can be implemented with ease. Behind the bone saddle, Fender Vintage-Style tun ers also guarantee a robust and accurate tuning of the electric guitar.
