Features We Love:

Custom Shop Built

Home to some of the most talented luthiers in the world, Fender Custom Shop has been producing incredible guitars since they first opened back in 1987. With a wealth of knowledge and skill all under one roof, each guitar is instilled with some of that Custom Shop magic.

Electronics

This guitar is fitted with a set of Hand-Wound Fat '64 Strat Singlecoil pickups. are built to really deliver that clarity, definition and throaty growl that early to mid 60s Strats were known for. The middle pickup is also reverse-wound/reverse-polarity, giving you true hum-cancelling in positions 2 and 4. These pickups clean up tremendously too, and paired with the Tone Saver Bleed circuit on the volume pot which ensures no loss of high end when you roll off the volume, this guitar is built for any style you can think of.

Relic Finish

This guitar's Journeyman Relic Aged finish completely evokes the idea of an an instrument that's been well played but well taken care of over the decades. Taken out regularly for some serious sessions and gigs, but wiped down and put back in its case at the end of the night. The result is the gorgeous light eggshell-cracking to the finish, the discolouration and wear around the forearm bevel and that unmistakable fingerboard patina that's the sign of a real workhorse.
