Description
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Strat SH Heavy Relic in Aged 2-Color Sunburst is all about attitude, individuality, and pure inspiration. Designed for players who want a guitar with classic style and bold sonic character, this Strat delivers vintage soul with a twist; it stands out both visually and tonally.
Its 2-piece select ash body is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, with offset seams for extra resonance and visual intrigue. The Heavy Relic treatment is authentic and dramatic, making this Strat look and feel like it's spent decades on the road, soaking up stories and creating memories. The quartersawn maple neck sports a comfortable 1966 Oval "C" profile that fits perfectly in your hand, and the 3A rosewood fingerboard, loaded with 21 Jescar Vintage frets, ensures a smooth, broken-in feel for both chords and bends.
What sets this guitar apart is its unique pickup pairing. A Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1B in the neck delivers warm, articulate humbucker tones, while a Custom Shop Hand-Wound Original Blackguard single-coil Tele bridge pickup brings in unmistakable Fender twang and bite. The 3-way blade switch makes it easy to jump between glassy neck tones, snappy bridge leads, and a sweet blend of both, covering everything from soulful blues to gritty rock and beyond.
Playability is dialed in for expressive performance. The compound 9.5" to 12" radius offers low action for easy bends and fast runs, while the bone nut and vintage-style tuners ensure stable tuning through every gig or session. A 3-saddle "cut-off" Tele bridge with brass saddles adds sustain and vintage vibe, finishing off an instrument built for real-world use and lifelong reliability.
From its parchment witch hat knobs to its vintage-correct string tree and bold relic finish, every detail of this Strat tells a story. At Cream City Music, we're all about guitars that inspire creativity from the very first strum. The Limited Edition Strat SH Heavy Relic in Aged 2-Color Sunburst is a statement piece, ready for players who want their guitar to reflect a lifetime of music.
