Fender Custom Shop Ltd El Diablo Strat Heavy Relic 2TSB Wide Fade *Used*

Unleash the fiery spirit of this Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition El Diablo Strat Heavy Relic, crafted in 2017. A rare limited-edition model, the El Diablo Strat combines vintage aesthetics with modern playability, featuring a 2-piece alder body finished in a 2-Tone Sunburst Wide Fade nitrocellulose lacquer—a striking gradient that enhances the alder’s grain. The Heavy Relic treatment delivers an authentically aged look, with lacquer checking, simulated wear, and distressed hardware, mimicking a guitar that’s been played hard for decades. In good condition with light signs of use beyond its factory relic’d finish, this Strat shows minimal additional wear, preserving its bold, road-worn charm.

This El Diablo Strat features a quartersawn maple neck with a 10/56 V-shaped profile (.880" at 1st fret, .990" at 12th), paired with a maple fingerboard sporting a 9.5" radius, 21 Jumbo frets (6100), and black dot inlays, offering a 25.5" scale length for a vintage-inspired feel with a slightly thicker, V-shaped grip that transitions smoothly up the neck. The hand-wound El Diablo Strat pickups—a hotter take on vintage single-coils—deliver fiery, articulate tones with enhanced output, perfect for blues, rock, and beyond. Wired with a 5-way switch, master volume, and two tone controls using vintage mod wiring #2, it includes a Greasebucket circuit to roll off highs without adding bass. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo with steel saddles ensures smooth vibrato action, while vintage-style tuning keys in relic’d nickel finish add period-correct aesthetics. Professionally set up by our expert luthiers at Peach Guitars, it’s ready to play straight out of its original hardshell case, which includes a certificate of authenticity. The case is a little bit faded on the outside in places.

Perfect for players seeking a limited-edition Strat with bold tone and vintage character, this used Fender Custom Shop El Diablo Strat Heavy Relic in 2-Tone Sunburst Wide Fade delivers fiery sound and relic’d style. Whether you’re gigging, recording, or adding a rare Custom Shop piece to your collection, its exceptional tone and unique finish make it a standout choice at an incredible value.
