Product Description
Key Features
- Heavy Relic - Aged to replicate the mesmerising aesthetics of a working guitarist's workhorse instrument. This relic treatment features the typical playwear, dings and decolourisation found on many of the most lusted-over instruments.
- Quarter Sawn Maple - Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.
- 9.50” Radius - Fender’s modern fingerboard radius favoured by many for its comfort and versatility.
Custom Shop Fat ‘60s Pickups
Designed and made by the Fender Custom Shop, the Fat ‘60s Stratocaster pickups perfectly capture the highly desired articulate vintage ‘60s Strat tone but with a few updated tweaks. Made using period-correct fibre bobbins, cloth wire, Alnico II magnets, and Formvar magnet wire, these pickups provide authentic vintage Strat tones that are rich in dynamics with a bell-like character. They have been overwound for extra bite and more power in the low-end and the middle pickup is RWRP for no noise in positions 2 and 4.
‘60s C Oval Shape Neck
The neck that can do everything! Not too thin and not too fat, just right no matter what style of playing you want to play that day. The neck is big enough that you can still wrap your thumb over and feel the whole guitar shake as you strum the strings as hard as you can yet still thin enough that you can effortlessly shred up and down the neck.
