Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '56 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic Aged India Ivory

What we say:

At A Glance

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '56 Stratocaster in Super Heavy Relic Aged India Ivory brings you a stunning take on a used and abused but well loved and still roaring instrument. The kind of guitar that's seen it all, done it all, and still come back fighting.

Features like the 11/56 Off-Center "V" neck profile, vintage style tuning machines and synchronised tremolo, not to mention that powerfully reliced finish and neck completely evoke the idea of playing a truly decades old guitar held together by heavy maintenance and willpower. Just the kind of magic you only find at the Fender Custom Shop.

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.

Fat 50s Pickups

Fender's Hand-Wound Fat '50s Strat® singlecoils deliver you all the era-classic tones of a legit 50's instrument while enhancing bass response, without the harsh midrange. The result is barrels of old school tone, all that honk and sparkle the Strat is famous for, but at a level of performance that stands up to modern playing styles and technologies. The middle pickup is also reverse wound/reverse polarity for hum cancellation in the 2 and 4 positions.

Super Heavy Relic Finish

This guitar's Super Heavy Relic Aged finish completely evokes the idea of an instrument that's been heavily played and bashed around its whole life, with the smoke and spilled beer of thousands of gigs and club nights evident in every stain, wear spot and dent across its rugged yet noble features. The kind of guitar that's seen it all and done it all. Just the kind of magic you only find at the Fender Custom Shop.
