This 2023 Fender Custom Shop '66 Stratocaster in Sonic Blue features the Closet Classic relic treatment—light finish checking, subtle hardware aging, and just enough wear to feel broken-in without looking overdone. The oval "C" neck profile, 9.5" radius, and narrow tall frets offer a comfortable, modern playability while keeping the vintage character intact. Pickups are clear and open, with the expected chime, scoop, and punch across all five positions. The Sonic Blue finish has a soft fade that pairs well with the lightly aged hardware. A sharp take on a mid-'60s Strat that feels lived-in from day one. Comes with the OHSC and COA.
