Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster 1960 Relic
Guitar description
This is a stunning example of a Fiesta Red 1960 Relic Strat that looks fantastic with the dark Tort pickguard. This example has a very comfy 60s C shape neck that feels lovely combined with the 10 inch radius and medium jumbo frets. When fired up into a tasty valve amp the Fat 60s pickups sound amazing. True vintage tones and a classic sound. This example has seen very little use and remains in lovely condition. It looks quite striking with the fiesta red finish against the Darker pickguard. It has the effect of almost making the red paint look a slightly different shade to a typical Fiesta red strat with white or green guard. The traveller documents that's included specifies rolled fingerboard edges, which further add to the excellent playability of this instrument. Today the Custom Shop Relics seem to be rising in price with new prices inching towards the £4k area!
