Fender Custom Shop ’60s Stratocaster Relic in Surf Green with a wild, eye-catching checking job across the body. The body is dated 2005 and the neck 2009, leading us to believe this one was assembled in 2009 and it's possible the hardware is unoriginal. It’s a classic ’60s-style reissue dressed up with gorgeous gold hardware and a beautiful birdseye maple neck that really stands out.
The pickups are non-original but Custom Shop, and they deliver an excellent ’60s Strat voice—chimey, clear, and responsive, with sparkle and snap. Playability is great, with a comfortable vintage-style feel that makes it easy to get around the neck and dig into all the classic Strat tones. Comes with the OHSC.
