Edit description

Step back in time with the Fender Stratocaster '56 Reissue, a revival of the iconic 1956 model that captures the spirit of rock 'n' roll's golden era. This meticulously crafted electric guitar is more than just an instrument—it's a homage to the past with the reliability and precision of modern craftsmanship. With its "soft V" neck profile, this Stratocaster offers a comfortable grip, ideal for both intricate solos and robust rhythm sections. The period-accurate headstock and vintage-style tremolo bridge evoke the timeless charm of the mid-50s, while the three American Vintage '56 single-coil pickups deliver that legendary, sparkling tone that Stratocasters are celebrated for.

Whether you're a seasoned player looking to add a classic to your collection or a budding musician seeking your first serious instrument, the '56 Reissue stands as a testament to Fender's enduring legacy. Embrace the past with a guitar that's built to inspire the future of music.

Good Strats

Best production line Strats you can buy. By far better quality than the Standard series. Nitro finish and thin skin nitro on the new ones. I've owned some that rival the Custom Shop offerings. My current shell pink 56 is one. I swapped the pickups for Duncan Antiquity Texas Hots. Awesome neck.

"(for their song "The Message") As far as gear goes, the bass we used was a Fender 1956 reissue direct into a Neve pre-amp into a Distressor, no bass amp was used on this one."
