Description
A superb example of Fender Custom Shop craftsmanship, this 2013 ’56 Stratocaster Relic in aged black captures the unmistakable tone and feel of a true mid-’50s classic. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish has been expertly aged to show realistic wear, checking, and patina — giving this Strat all the mojo of a well-loved vintage original.
This example has just had the one single owner and comes with all the candy you see pictured and the original case.
Built from a select alder body and a one-piece quartersawn maple neck, it features the comfortable ’56 soft “V” profile and a 7.25" radius fingerboard for that authentic vintage playing feel. The trio of Custom Shop hand-wound ’50s single-coil pickups delivers everything from sparkling cleans to that signature Strat “quack” in the middle positions — dynamic, clear, and full of character.
Vintage-style aged hardware, a single-ply parchment guard, and aged nickel/chrome parts complete the period-correct look. Lightweight, resonant, and incredibly responsive, this Custom Shop Strat feels alive in the hands — a truly inspiring guitar both on stage and in the studio.
