Introducing this brand new Fender Custom Shop 1955 Stratocaster Closet Classic — a black-and-gold stunner built with vintage soul and modern playability. Crafted by the legendary Fender Custom Shop, this ’55 Strat delivers the look, feel, and tone of a well-preserved original, with tasteful Closet Classic aging and premium appointments throughout.

The 7lbs 4oz off-center 2-piece ash body resonates beautifully, while the 11/56 Off-Center V maple neck carve feels substantial yet incredibly comfortable. Loaded with a full set of Custom Shop Hand-Wound Poblano pickups, this Strat has the punch, clarity, and dynamic response that players chase in a great mid-’50s example — only with modern consistency and reliability.

Finished in classic Black with gold hardware and paired with an eggshell guard, this is a timeless combination that looks every bit as bold as it sounds.
