What we say:
At A Glance
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '57 Stratocaster in Relic Aged Sonic Blue brings you a stunning recreation of a vintage era instrument. Packed with vintage specs, this Stratocaster looks well played but well loved, and plays like a dream after the careful attention from the Custom Shop.
Features like the '57 Style Soft "V" neck profile, vintage style tuning machines and synchronised tremolo, not to mention that gorgeously aged finish and neck completely evoke the idea of playing a truly decades old, well maintained instrument. Just the kind of magic you only find at the Fender Custom Shop.
Features We Love:
Custom Shop Built
Home to some of the most talented luthiers in the world, Fender Custom Shop has been producing incredible guitars since they first opened back in 1987. With a wealth of knowledge and skill all under one roof, each guitar is instilled with some of that Custom Shop magic.
Fat 50s Pickups
Fender's Hand-Wound Fat '50s Strat singlecoils deliver you all the era-classic tones of a legit 50's instrument while enhancing bass response, without the harsh midrange. The result is barrels of old school tone that stands up to modern playing styles and technologies. The middle pickup is also reverse wound/reverse polarity for hum cancellation in the 2 and 4 positions.
Relic Finish
This guitar's Journeyman Relic Aged finish completely evokes the idea of an instrument that's been well played but well taken care of over the decades. Taken out regularly for some serious sessions and gigs, but wiped down and put back in its case at the end of the night. The result is the gorgeous light eggshell-cracking to the finish, the discolouration and wear around the forearm bevel and that unmistakable fingerboard patina that's the sign of a real workhorse.
Who Is It For?
The player looking for that special guitar that looks and plays like a reliable old friend, right out the box.

- Crafted to perfection
