  • Description: This Custom Shop Surf Green 1960 Stratocaster® Relic® is a detailed recreation of its Kennedy-era ancestor, inside and out! Built to the exact same specs as the original 1960 Fender® Stratocaster®. This Fender® Custom Shop 1960 Relic® Stratocaster® with Matching Headstock features an alder body with nitro finish, maple neck with matching headstock, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 6105 frets, 1960 Stratocaster® pickups with 5-way switching, three-ply mint green pickguard, and vintage hardware. This detailed Custom Shop reproduction of a 1960 Strat® was built utilizing original tooling and production techniques of the era. And its Relic® finish treatment gives it the look of a well-traveled and heavily played axe, although it is absolutely new in setup and playability. The pickup design is accurate to the original, as far as materials and windings, producing a characteristically smooth, glassy tone. The bridge has just enough bite to let the strings ring through while distorted without getting too muddy or muffled and the mid and neck pups provide a wide array of clean and natural tones. This guitar screams Hendrix/SRV with great harmonics and overtones, powerful, punchy and sweet too!
