The 2006 Fender Custom Shop Relic 1956 Stratocaster in the classic Olympic White finish offers a vintage aesthetic with modern performance. This particular model features Ron Ellis '57 S Pickups, enhancing its tonal versatility and quality. With a comfortable soft V-shaped neck that has been thoughtfully aged to provide that worn-in feel reminiscent of a well-played sixty-year-old Strat, this guitar exudes character and charm. The relic work on this guitar is artfully executed, striking a perfect balance that captures the essence of a well-loved instrument without appearing overdone. The neck has received particular praise for both its visual appeal and comfortable playing experience, having that classic soft V shape that is beloved by Strat enthusiasts. We do not have the original pickups.
This Fender Custom Shop Relic 1956 Stratocaster ships in its original tweed case alongside the case candy package and Custom Shop COA, completing the package for discerning collectors and players alike. Weighing 7lbs 8oz, this guitar not only looks the part with its relic finish but also delivers a truly authentic vintage feel and sound, making it a prized possession for anyone looking to capture the essence of classic Stratocaster tone and vibe.
