This 2015 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster brings together a mix of classic elements in a way that feels intentional and downright cool. Its Sunburst finish wears an excellent relic treatment that gives it the kind of broken-in character you don’t have to baby. The pickups and wiring have been swapped out for a Texas Special set with a matching guard, adding a bit more snap and heat to the guitar’s voice. With a maple neck, ash body, and a transition-era logo, it comes off like an easy blend of some of the best Strat features from across the decades. Most importantly, this one feels fantastic in the hands and has a look that’s hard not to appreciate. Comes with the OHSC.
