Fender Custom Shop 63 Stratocaster Relic, Faded Fiesta Red

Fender Custom Shop 63 Stratocaster Relic, Faded Fiesta Red

#R101657

Weight: 7.6lbs/3.5kgs

The early 1960s saw some important changes to the Stratocaster, including a new pickguard configuration, neck profile and a “round-laminated” rosewood fingerboard, all culminating in a compelling new contemporary look and sound. The 1963 Stratocaster Relic is a fine testament to these innovations, featuring a two-piece select alder body with deep contours for perfect comfort, a quartersawn maple neck with a time-honoured 1960s “Oval C” profile, and a 7.25”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 narrow tall frets for steady play up and down the neck.

Hand-wound "60/63" pickups with reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup are given extra turns of wire to produce rich ’60s tone, sent to a five-way switch and modern strat wiring on a three-ply mint green pickguard. Other features include a Custom Shop vintage-style synchronised tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree with metal spacer. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
