Posted: 24 Oct 2010, 09:30Hi Stuart.
34346 Stuart is a 1959 Stratocaster. When Cliff bought the guitar it came with a very nice birdseye maple neck. Apart from this its a stock 59 Strat
All the info for 59 Strats can be found by typing Fender 1959 Stratocaster into Google and you will get every bit of info you are looking for.
Good luck with your project.
Regards Geoff.

If you send me a PM with your address I have a spare copy of Duchossoir's book The Fender Stratocaster. This will give you a lot of info on the 59 Srat.

David, dont forget the flush G,B and E flush poles on the pickup's. Late 50's neck are known to be rounder and flatter than earlier necks and became extremely flat in 59, this is refering to the back of the neck profile.

Justin had quoted that Hank has hie finger board made flatter,how flat is does he have it now? Many thanks
According to Howard who was party to Hank's use of the 50th Anni on the tour, no modification was made to the guitar at all, despite other statements...
The neck is as stated ... birdseye, not flame...
The spec is here viewtopic.php?f=21&t=173&hilit=CRS+59&start=70 including details of pole pieces...
