Description

Fresh from the acclaimed Fender Custom Shop, the Limited-edition '63 Stratocaster Relic re-creates one of Fender’s most popular and collectible models of the 1960s. The Stratocaster had just begun to solidify itself both as the centerpiece of Fender’s lineup and as the iconic guitar that even non-musicians would immediately recognize. This guitar captures the '63 Strat down to the last detail with its 2-piece alder body, "C" profile neck, vintage hardware, and round-lam rosewood fingerboard that improved upon old-school “slab” fingerboards. Powering the Limited-edition '63 Stratocaster Relic’s tone are three hand-wound Texas Special Strat pickups, over-wound for hot output with great mid-range snarl, crystal-clear highs, and focused bass. Fender’s proprietary Relic nitrocellulose finish gives this limited edition pre-loved looks and exceptional tone that mirrors every great guitar’s natural aging process.
