Fender Custom Shop '59 Precision Bass DLX Closet Classic, Super Faded Aged Fiesta Red #R132891

Full Description

Vintage tone with Custom Shop precision

The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Precision Bass is crafted to deliver the revered tonal character of a late-’50s Fender Precision bass. At the heart of its sound is a hand-wound ’59–’62 P-Bass pickup, designed to produce deep, rounded lows and articulate mids with the natural warmth of vintage single coils. This pickup is built to exacting Custom Shop standards, ensuring you get rich, dynamic tone with every note.

Deluxe Closet Classic finish

Finished in Super Faded Aged Fiesta Red, this Precision Bass features the Deluxe Closet Classic treatment – a meticulous relic process that gives the appearance of light wear from decades of careful storage. The nitrocellulose lacquer not only contributes to its aged look but also allows the tonewood to breathe and resonate, enriching the instrument’s organic sound while developing character over time. This beauty is a testament to where electric bass playing began.

Quarter-sawn maple neck with '60s profile

Premium playability comes from the one-piece, quarter-sawn maple neck with a 7.25” fingerboard radius and 20 vintage-style frets. Its '60 P-Bass Oval “C” back shape offers a smooth, played-in grip, while the quarter-sawn grain enhances neck stability and tonal response. Finished in dark-tinted nitro lacquer, it combines classic feel with the high-end craftsmanship of Fender Custom Shop.

Custom Shop heritage in every detail

From the anodised gold pickguard to the vintage-style hardware and period-correct decal, every detail of this Precision Bass has been carefully chosen to honour Fender’s golden era. Built by the Custom Shop’s most skilled luthiers, it represents the pinnacle of Fender’s legacy and commitment to excellence – a collector-grade instrument with the soul and sound of an original '59 model.
