High-quality tonewoods and elaborate Super Heavy Relic finish
This Stratocaster features an alder body with a Super Faded/Aged Firemist Silver or 3-Color Sunburst finish. The brittle Firemist Silver topcoat partially reveals both the Sunburst layer and the raw alder body beneath. A plain-grain maple neck is paired with a high-grade AAA rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius, ensuring effortless bends, riffs, and leads. Staying true to tradition, the guitar is fitted with a classic vintage tremolo for expressive vibrato work. Fender tuners with the iconic “F” logo guarantee tuning stability, even under heavy tremolo use.
The hand-wound '65 Strat single coils deliver the authentic sound of the legendary sixties!
Custom Shop Hand-Wounded '65 Strat Single Coils
For authentic Stratocaster tone, the guitar is equipped with three hand-wound Custom Shop ’65 Strat single coils, faithfully reproducing the crystalline clarity of the ’60s. Brilliant highs cut through with definition, while the punchy midrange integrates seamlessly into the overall sound. The neck pickup, in particular, is known for its bell-like chime, adding character to every note. Pickup selection is handled by a traditional 5-way switch, complemented by two tone controls and a master volume knob for precise tonal shaping.
