Fender Stratocaster Time Machine – 66 STRATOCASTER CLOSET CLASSIC Electric Guitar Review :: Fender Electric Guitar Reviews
travel decades back in time.
It faithfully recreates one of the great Fender guitars from one of the most wildly creative years in popular music. This Custom Shop Fender strat creation is an exact reproduction of the original, made using the same tools and techniques, and precisely duplicating the original specs: the nitrocellulose lacquer over urethane finish, the large headstock with the ’66 logo style, and even the original’s wing string tree. The 66 Fender Stratocaster Closet Classic electric guitar sports vintage tuners, the F neck plate, and the C neck shape of the period. Even the pickups are exact duplicates of the ’66 versions. Select alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard. This electric guitar features the Closet Classic treatment—built as if it was bought new in its respective model year, played maybe a few times per year and then carefully put away. Its finish is lightly checked, the hardware oxidized a little, and the plastic parts yellowed somewhat with age.
