Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster NOS Chocolate 3 Tone Sunburst AAA Maple Neck w/case CZ588411

Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster NOS – Chocolate 3-Tone Sunburst w/Case
Serial: CZ588411
Weight: 8lb 2oz

This 1963 Stratocaster NOS captures the look, feel, and response of an early-’60s Strat but with a clean New Old Stock finish instead of relic aging. Finished in Chocolate 3-Tone Sunburst and built with an AAA flame maple neck, it brings together premium woods, period-correct specs, and the unmistakable snap and clarity of Fender’s hand-wound Fat ’60s pickups.

The lightweight 2-piece ash body delivers open resonance and quick attack, while the round-lam rosewood fingerboard, 6105 narrow-tall frets, and early ’60s Oval “C” carve give you the feel Strat players love from this era. Under the hood, the hand-wound Fat ’60s set provides glassy highs, bold mids, and the warm compression associated with true ’60s single coils.

If you’re after a clean, non-aged version of a ’63 with top-shelf neck wood and classic early-’60s tone, this NOS is exactly that.
