The Fender Custom Shop 61 Stratocaster Relic is a painstakingly accurate recreation of an early 60s Strat that just oozes vintage charm! Featuring a two-piece Alder Body with a thin Nitrocellulose finish, the 61 Stratocaster feels like a vintage instrument from the moment you pick it up. Boasting Fender Custom Shop’s relic treatment, you would be forgiven for thinking that the guitar has been played for sixty years! The level of care and attention to detail is truly mind-blowing! The 60s-style Oval “C” shape Maple neck has also been given the relic treatment and has a comfortable worn-in feel to it. Topped with a AAA Rosewood fingerboard with a vintage 7.25″ radius, the 61 Stratocaster makes light work of rhythm playing and chord shapes.

At the heart of the 61 Stratocaster is a trio of hand-wound Custom Shop 65 Strat pickups, offering up a host of vintage single coil tones. These versatile pickups are wound to be a little hotter, making them perfect for blues and rock tones. Whether you favour sparkling cleans or gritty overdrives, the 61 Stratocaster can do it all, with tonnes of character! A traditional-style American Vintage tremolo system allows for plenty of vintage vibrato effects and a set of Sperzel Deluxe tuners ensure you stay in tune when doing so! Adorned in a stunning Lake Placid Blue finish, the 61 Stratocaster comes in a Custom Shop hard case with an accompanying certificate of authenticity.
