  • Description: Fender® LTD. 1966 Stratocaster® Closet Classic in Firemist Silver Metallic Direct from a closet somewhere in Surf City. This Fender® Custom Shop Limited Edition Stratocaster® has been produced in a limited run of 200 by a team of skilled luthiers in Fender®'s Custom Shop. It is true to the specs and style features of the 1966 including the large headstock and C-shaped neck profile, and it features a silvery nitrocellulose lacquer finish and a 3-ply parchment pickguard. It has 3 1965 Custom single-coil pickups with the middle pickup reverse wound to cancel hum in switch positions 2 and 4. Other features include Fender/Gotoh vintage-style tuners, the wing string tree, and an American Vintage synchronized tremolo. It has been given the Closet Classic treatment--the look of a guitar made in 1966, played a little, then put away in a closet until now. It has a few dings, a mildly checked finish, lightly oxidized hardware, aged plastic parts, and it plays with a broken-in feel. Its Custom Shop crafting, Closet Classic treatment, and its firemist finish make it a special Strat® among Strats.
