57 Hot Rod Fender Strat for Sale
We could just list a few '57 Hot Rod Fender Stratocaster reissue guitars here and call it a day, but the true reason for designing a hot rod Fender Strat isn't so you can pull it off the showroom floor and call it your very own. Nope, the true definition of a hot rod (in any sense) is something that you took and redesigned to your own specifications. Yes, you can purchase a reissue that has a different tone, different look, and a different feel than the typical 57 Strat, but that's to Fender's specifications. You might just want to customize your own!
Creating a 57 Hot Rod Fender Stratocaster begins with choosing a new pickguard. There's not really anything necessary here other than to completely change the look right off the bat. After that, choosing new pickups and knobs also help to change the overall look of the guitar. The knobs are of course just more color or style variety, but the pickups will in fact change the tone of the guitar if choosing for other than color.

Next comes the neck and the fretboard and this is usually where people stop and decide to abort the change or send it on over to a custom builder to complete. Changing out the neck and fretboard leads to a different tune overall on the 57 Fender Strat and to get a good quality tone, it needs to be done right. Otherwise we've got a 57 Hot Rod Fender Strat guitar that is unplayable.
If full custom isn't your idea of fun, but you do in fact want to make changes, there are several high quality online shops that sell kits to Hot Rod your '57 Fender Strat. If it's your first foray into customizing a guitar, we highly recommend starting with a kit until comfortable with the whole process enough to start from scratch.
