PRODUCT DETAILS
The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Relic Stratocaster features a 3-tone sunburst finish with a worn-down look, creating an instrument that feels and looks like its seen more than a few stages in its time. A trio or hand-wound 60/63 pickups provide that sparkling tones of the original '60 strat, while the modified wiring, tone-saver treble-bleed circuit, and reverse wind reverse polarity middle pickup improves tonal clarity and reduces unwanted hum. A classic alder body, maple neck, and period correct slab rosewood fingerboard provides the 1960 Relic Stratocaster with luscious vintage tones and an incredibly comfortable playing experience. Its vintage tremolo and tuners, mint green pickguard, and bone nut add to the guitar's classic aesthetic, making the Custom Shop 1960 Relic Stratocaster worthy of the Fender name.
