Fender Custom Shop 1959 Heavy Relic Stratocaster
Guitar description
This amazing Strat came to us recently from the original owner who bought it brand new last year. A stunning looking instrument in an aged blonde finish over a sorted Ash two-piece body. This Strat has a lovely comfy 60s C neck shape and large jumbo frets. When it came to us it needed a set-up, once this was done with a full fret level and dress the guitar sprung to life in quite a spectacular way. A really special example of a Strat. The heavy Relic finish looks lovely and the aged blonde colour has a slightly pinky hue to it. The Texas special custom shop pickups sound amazing and this is helped by some lovely natural resonance. A really lovely Strat with a great spec.
