Fender Custom Old School 1956 Stratocaster NOS - DPB

A journey back in time, with no compromises.

The Old School series was born from a simple yet essential idea: to faithfully recreate guitars exactly as they were in their original years of production. Not a modern reinterpretation, not just an inspiration, but a true window into the past.

Every detail—from materials to construction techniques, from finishes to assembly methods—has been carefully chosen to bring back the sound, feel, and experience of playing a vintage Fender. While the Custom Shop typically focuses on modernized takes of classic models, this time it has fully embraced history, delivering instruments that feel as if they just came out of Fullerton’s workshops decades ago.

For those who seek authenticity above all else, the Old School series is more than just a guitar—it’s a time machine.

Getting into technical details, authentic specs have been carefully selected down to the finest details to recreate the magic of the instruments from the "Golden Era." In addition to the use of selected materials, the instruments feature a Flash Coat Lacquer finish—an extremely thin, non-aged finish, designed to enhance the instrument's sonic properties — and fretboards with rounded edges for an unrivaled neck grip in terms of comfort.

Each instrument in the Old School Series comes with an engraved "custom" Neck Plate and a special additional certificate.
