The FenderLimited Edition '59 Stratocaster HSS Relic Daphne Blue Metallic at a glance:
The Limited Edition ’59 Stratocaster HSS Relic from the Fender Custom Shop is a stunning instrument that blends traditional design with modern tonal versatility. Its two-piece alder body in an authentic nitrocellulose finish radiates vintage character, while the quartersawn maple neck with 11/56 off-center V profile offers outstanding stability and playability. A premium 3A rosewood fingerboard with narrow 6105 frets and a 7.25"–9.5" compound radius provides the perfect foundation for precise, fast playing across the 25.5" scale. With its elaborate Relic treatment, this guitar looks like a road-worn classic while offering exclusive Custom Shop wiring and unmistakable style.
The Fender Limited Edition '59 Stratocaster HSS Relic Daphne Blue Metalli is a very special one-off thanks to its detailed craftsmanship and unconventional Strat wiring!
The HSS pickup configuration enables versatile sounds from vintage to modern!
Sonically, the ’59 Strat HSS Relic delivers impressive versatility. A Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat ’60s single-coil in the neck position provides warm, full cleans, while the Reverse-Wound/Reverse-Polarity Fat ’60s in the middle delivers hum-free intermediate tones with crisp midrange character. At the bridge, a Seymour Duncan ’59 SH-1B humbucker produces everything from rich crunch to powerful lead tones. Together, these pickups cover classic Stratocaster sounds as well as modern rock voicings, all accessible via a 5-way blade switch. The electronics add a unique twist: the traditional Strat volume control position has been replaced by a metal cap, leaving only a master volume and a single tone control.
