Used Fender LTD 1959 Heavy Relic Stratocaster - Aged Sherwood Green Metallic

Fender LTD 1959 Heavy Relic Stratocaster - Aged Sherwood Green Metallic

The legendary Stratocaster is one of the most significant electric guitar designs of all time, and this Custom Shop LTD 1959 Heavy Relic version takes you straight back to the golden age! With a body crafted from select alder, you get that quintessential Fender chime and sustain—a foundation that has propelled countless guitar heroes, from Jimi Hendrix to David Gilmour, to sonic stardom. This particular Strat pairs that classic tonewood with a roasted, quartersawn maple neck for enhanced stability and a sweet, broken-in feel right out of the case. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is expertly aged, giving you the look and feel of a road-tested companion that's been making music for decades.

This Stratocaster is a tone machine thanks to its trio of Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special single-coil pickups. These overwound magnets deliver a powerful, hot-rod punch with crystal-clear highs and a focused mid-range growl, pushing your amp into glorious overdrive while retaining that signature Strat snap. Whether you’re diving into blues, rock, or funk, the iconic SSS configuration offers unmatched versatility. The AAA Rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of warmth and smooth playability to the 1959 "C" neck profile, making this guitar not just a stunning piece of history, but a true player's instrument.
