Fender Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1954 Heavy Relic Stratocaster Electric Guitar

A painstaking recreation of the iconic guitar's first production model with a couple of more modern touches.




The Fender Custom Shop celebrates the diamond
jubilee of one of the greatest electric guitars with the 60th
Anniversary 1954 Heavy Relic Stratocaster guitar. This special guitar
honors the Stratocaster’s very first model year and is finely crafted
with a rich selection of features and appointments, in addition to a
heavy relic treatment that evokes decades of use, abuse and hard-fought
wear and tear.

The one-piece ash body is wonderfully light and
responsive. It bares a battered nitrocellulose lacquer finish in the
model’s original Two-Color Sunburst that doesn't inhibit in any way the
body's natural brightness or resonance.

The one-piece quartersawn
maple neck has a wonderfully comfortable 1954 “U”-shaped profile and
tinted lacquer finish. The maple fingerboard has a 9.5” radius, slightly
flatter than the original, and twenty-one 6105 frets for smooth modern
playability. The Master Builders at Fender do an amazing job of getting
these necks to feel broken in from "decades of play" with loads of life
left.

Three 1954 single-coil Stratocaster pickups deliver a
singing original-era voice. They're not overwound and have just the
right amount of response to capture all the gorgeous tone that the ash
body and maple neck produce. A 5-way switch, instead of the original
3-way, is added to this vintage recreation, bringing the mixed-pickup
settings that Strat players rely on.

Other features include a
single-ply white pickguard, synchronized tremolo bridge with six “patent
pending” saddles and serial number-stamped trem plate (a special 1954
touch), vintage-style tuners and nickel-chrome hardware. The guitar
comes in a tweed “center-pocket” case with Stratocaster 60th Anniversary
embroidery and an included 60th Anniversary commemorative book.
