The Story

NoNeck 1960 Stratocaster Daphne Blue NOS 2023

One of our favorite Fender Customs for a great price, this is a very lightly used 2023 Custom Shop NoNeck Strat with the original case and COA included. This NoNeck comes in a beautiful Daphne Blue NOS finish, for a fresh-out-of-the-case vibe. The NoNeck Strat is one of the most comfortable playing guitars we have here at the Zoo. The name "NoNeck" may seem like a bit of a misnomer, but the "No" in "NoNeck" comes from the original '51 Nocaster, which had a fat, comfortable neck. But it's not just the neck shape that makes these guitars special: We have rolled some of our favorite guitar specs into the NoNeck as well. A flatter-than-vintage 9.5" radius Rosewood fingerboard and big 6105 medium jumbo frets make bends and fast single-note lines easy. The pickups are Custom Shop '60 Strat single-coils, but with a twist in the middle pickup: it's reverse wound, flipping the polarity so when the 5-way pickup selector is in one of the "in-between" positions the usual pickup hum is gone. Absolutely essential if you crank it up and play with overdrive!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Strap, Cable, Custom Care Kit
