Fender Custom Shop NAMM 2020 LTD Roasted Poblano Strat Heavy Relic

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

A Roasted Alder body is finished in a cracking Faded Aged Aztec Gold over 3-Tone Sunburst finish. Authentically aged, this finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further. It also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively compared with other finishes.

The Quartersawn Roasted Maple neck has a smooth finish and a 59 Large C profile. This feel is a real favourite with vintage guitar fans and gives you a real nice grip and playing experience. 21 jumbo frets with rolled edges and a 9.5" radius make this a guitar equipped for every situation.

The defining feature is the signature Ancho Poblano singlecoil pickups, getting progressively hotter from neck to bridge, they are uniquely calibrated and offer a distinct tonal flavour. Overwound by hand they are the holy grail of single coils.
