Fender Custom Shop USED Team Built Custom 1964 Stratocaster NOS (3-Color Sunburst/R) 2013 [SN. R62236]

Recommended used items!
This is an original order item from our company, Ikebe Musical Instruments Rock House! A 1964 Stratocaster with vintage specifications has arrived as a recommended high-quality used item! It was made in 2013. A classic 3-Color Sunburst!

The Fender Custom Shop is a section established in 1987 to create the finest guitars under the Fender brand, using carefully selected materials from the wood sourced by Fender and employing traditional handcrafting techniques and advanced manufacturing methods. Inheriting the long-standing tradition and technology of Fender, this section offers a lineup of truly top-of-the-line instruments, including one-of-a-kind models like the Masterbuilder Series, assembled by a limited number of staff.
Many of the tools used in their production are the same ones that were used back then. The instruments, created with the meticulous attention to detail of staff who are intimately familiar with Fender guitar know-how, boast the finest quality and sound to satisfy the player, and will become a reliable companion that you can cherish for a lifetime.

This is a 1964-style Stratocaster, a model rarely produced even by custom shops! The mid-60s were a transitional period with various specification changes. The model ordered by Rock House this time features Transition Logo, Cray Dots, and 4 Pat Numbers—specs that our staff were particular about, reminiscent of the pre-CBS era! The round-laminated rosewood fingerboard retains a sweet midrange while offering a crisp, articulate sound. The slightly thicker Mid '60s OvalC Shape Quartersawn Maple neck provides a well-balanced combination of tight bass and crisp, clear articulation.

Recently, custom shop models tend to have shallow fingerboard radii and mid-jumbo frets, making them player-spec guitars. However, the 64ST that has just arrived retains the original vintage specifications with a 7.25R fingerboard radius and thin, low vintage frets, making it the original spec model that everyone has been waiting for.

Even among Fender guitars, which are known for their crisp acoustic sound, this model features a rosewood fingerboard, resulting in a thicker sound. While relic models have a thick and mellow sound, the NOS (New Old Stock) version has an edge that cannot be reproduced in relic models.
Finished with a NOS (New Old Stock) finish, this is recommended for those who want to break it in and develop it from scratch through their own use!
The lever switch is a 5-way type, so you can output a rich, glossy half-tone without any modifications!

The combination of Custom Shop Fat '50s Single-Coil Strat Pickups and a vintage-spec fretboard enhances the natural nuances! The powerful, resonant tone that seems to rise from the core, with its clear articulation and expansive feel, speaks to the overall excellent balance. The natural resonance that expands the more you play it will truly shine as you continue to use it.
This 1964 Stratocaster is a Rock House custom order model, meticulously crafted by the Ikebe staff! The craftsmanship is so impressive it will even impress Stratocaster enthusiasts—a testament to the Custom Shop's expertise! This is a guitar you absolutely must experience!

We've just received some recommended used items!
While there are some minor scratches overall, paint wear on the back of the body, jig marks from the manufacturing process, and some tarnishing on the parts, the overall condition is quite good! There are no issues with playability at present. We have performed a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so this is a highly recommended instrument in ready-to-use condition.
There is a slight distortion in the pickguard, and several gaps of about 0.1mm are visible on the left side, but I don't think they are noticeable at a glance. There are no issues with playability or operation.

The neck had a slight tendency to bounce upwards, so we leveled the frets to align the peaks. There are no issues with its current use. Approximately 90% of the frets remain. The nut is also in good working order for normal use. The truss rod is also in good working order for normal adjustments.

The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.

The weight is approximately 3.49 kg. It offers a balance that makes it easy to use while producing a solid, focused sound.

Accessories include a blonde hard case (White Tolex Hard Case), keys, certificate of authenticity, tremolo arm, wrenches, and bridge cover.

Don't miss this opportunity!
