Description
Fender Custom Shop '60 Strat Relic HSS - Shell Pink over Blue Sparkle
This phenomenal Fender Custom Shop '60 Strat Relic is the result of a special collaboration, designed hand-in-hand with Palen Music Center to combine the best of 1960s Stratocaster feel with hot-rodded, versatile performance. This is not just a guitar; it's a meticulously crafted piece of history with a powerful, modern twist. The classic Ash body is chambered for reduced weight and enhanced resonance, cloaked in an utterly unique Shell Pink over Blue Sparkle finish—a "color-over-color" scheme that’s been aged to a Relic degree, giving it the genuine vibe of a well-loved, gigged instrument from 1960. The breathtaking roasted AAA Flame Maple neck with a round-lam AAA Rosewood fingerboard provides incredible stability, beauty, and a warm, fat tone that’s pure vintage inspiration. With the comfortable '60 Style Oval "C" neck profile and a modern 7.25" to 9.5" Compound Radius, it plays with the best of old and new.
The tonal engine of this Custom Shop creation is an aggressive and incredibly versatile HSS pickup configuration, chosen specifically for maximum sonic range. In the neck and middle positions, you get a pair of Hand-Wound Poblano Single-Coils which are individually calibrated to deliver an expressive tone with progressively hotter output. They offer a perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern kick, with Alnico 3 magnets for a classic, smooth sound that still packs plenty of oomph, giving you the iconic, bell-like chime and quack that legends like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton made famous on their Strats. But flip to the bridge, and you unleash a powerhouse Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker, giving you the beef and bite for heavier blues, searing rock, and modern leads. This unique combination, coupled with vintage-style hardware, including a RSD 60's Strat Relic bridge, makes the guitar a true workhorse, ready for any genre and a standout piece in any collection.
