Fender Custom Shop 57 HSS Strat - Heavy Relic Sonic Blue

The Fender Stratocaster is probably the most iconic guitar ever produced and this Fender Custom Shop '57 Stratocaster is a fitting addition to this legendary line.

The Alder body is finished in lush Sonic Blue Nitro lacquer, it's a real beauty! Authentically aged, this finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further. The thin nitro finish also allows the natural acoustic resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively. The Heavy Relic is unbelievable; the attention to detail here is meticulous and super authentic.

The rift sawn Maple neck has a smooth finish, with a 9.5" radius, 21 6105 frets, and a 1.650" nut width. This '57 Custom Shop Stratocaster can handle anything you throw at it without even breaking a sweat; it's supremely comfortable and well balanced. The '60s Style Oval "C" profile is a joy to play and offers a great platform for both rhythm and lead playing. Loaded with an American Vintage bridge and modern locking tuners you can expect great tuning stability with period correct aesthetics.

A guitar this special needs a pickup up set that is incredible versatile. Loaded with the POMO Strat HSS controls it features a Seymour Duncan Trembucker in the bridge and a pair of Hand Wound 57 Strat pickups in both middle and neck position. These pickups are beautifully dynamic and will cover you in all situations. Topped of with an S1 switch for coil splitting in the humbucker position, this guitar really does have you covered for all sonic possibilities.

Supplied with a Fender Custom Shop hard case, this is a real sweet example of Custom Shop quality.
