Fender Stratocaster Custom Shop 56 Heavy Relic
Guitar description
This is another amazing guitar from the Fender Custom Shop, a 56 heavy relic Strat from 2016 complete with case and all the candy. This guitar was bought recently from its original owner and remains in amazing condition, the frets are like new! The heavy relic finish is lovely, and the neck lacquer is stripped back to a lovely satin smooth worn feel. The guitar is very typical spec, 9.5 radius, fat 50s pickups, an alder body, and all the usual vintage appointments. As with all recent custom shop guitars this has a superb tone and feel to it. Lovely quality woods and materials have been used to create this stunning instrument. Today heavy Relic Custom Shop Strats are retailing in the UK for upwards of £3700 and some editions are retailing for over £4000. This one comes complete with the original case, traveller doc, certificate and tags.

Guitar condition
Superb original condition. Frets as new! There is what looks like a small wood repair on the fret board edge, it's tiny and the orginal owner bought it new with this. The repair is so good it looks like it was done at the custom shop. It's tiny, and being mentioned here for 100% honest disclosure, photos are in the gallery.
What did we do?
- Nothing — it came to us in perfect, as-new condition
