Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Relic - Faded Aged Shell Pink

Step back in time with the Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Relic, a stunning recreation that embodies the golden age of Fender guitars. This masterpiece, finished in a captivating Faded Aged Shell Pink, is crafted from a resonant alder body, a tonewood renowned for its balanced tone with clear highs, strong mids, and robust lows – the quintessential Stratocaster sound that has powered countless hits. The comfortable 60 Style Oval "C" quarter-sawn maple neck with a beautiful AAA round-lam rosewood fretboard offers a smooth playing experience that feels instantly familiar, perfect for everything from soulful bends to blazing solos.

Under the hood, this '63 Strat is loaded with hand-wound 60/63 Strat pickups in the neck, middle, and bridge positions, meticulously voiced to capture that iconic vintage chime, warmth, and quack. These pickups deliver incredible clarity and dynamic response, allowing every nuance of your playing to shine through. The vintage modified wiring with a 5-way switch provides a versatile array of tonal options, from glassy cleans to gritty blues, making this guitar a true workhorse for any genre. Imagine the sounds of legendary players like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and John Frusciante, all of whom wielded Stratocasters from this revered era, inspiring generations of musicians.
