The Story

1957 Stratocaster NOS Two-Tone Black and Arctic White

You've seen a matching headstock before...you've seen a matching skunk stripe, and you've seen our painted neck - but this takes it up a notch even further! We went two-tone with this one! This is a Custom Shop '57 Strat in NOS Black on the body with an Arctic White fully-painted maple neck. Specs include a '59 Large "C" carve to the maple neck, a pair of Custom Shop '50s Strat pickups, and Narrow Tall frets with a 9.5" radius that make the guitar a breeze to play!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
