Personal Thoughts:
This Time Capsule ’64 Stratocaster in Surf Green is the definition of vintage-correct tone and aesthetics, but in brand-new condition. The Time Capsule series skips the relic treatment entirely, so what you’re getting here is a pristine vintage reissue—like it just rolled off the factory line in 1964.
The Surf Green finish over lightweight alder absolutely pops, especially when paired with the rich, dark rosewood board. It has that golden-era Fender charm, with the clarity and punch you’d expect from the Custom Shop’s hand-wound ’64 pickups.
The neck carve is classic—round and inviting, with a great shoulder that supports both chord work and lead playing. Whether you’re after classic blues tones, surf, funk, or vintage rock, this guitar gets you there in style, without the wear.
Condition Report:
Mint condition, imported directly from our overseas supplier. This guitar has never been played beyond initial inspection. As a Time Capsule model, it has no relicing—clean, unmarked finish, pristine frets, and flawless hardware.
Includes original Fender Custom Shop hardshell case, certificate of authenticity, strap, and full case candy. A rare chance to get a brand-new vintage-spec Strat without the relic treatment.
