At A Glance: The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Strat Relic Faded Aged Candy Apple Red finish has exactly what we love to see in a Strat. It demonstrates a great coming together of quality woods and hardware, skilfully crafted by expert luthiers into a beautiful guitar. It has all of the retro vibes you could hope for and can easily do Blues, Pop and Rock plus a whole range of other styles. Features We Love: Hand-Wound Pickups A trio of Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special Single Coil pickups give this guitar all of the tonal capabilities it needs. With a slightly hotter output than your typical Strat pickup, they are a great fit for this model and can tackle almost any style of music with ease. Faded Aged Finish The Faded Aged finish authentically recreates the look of an instrument that has already had a colourful past and certainly has some stories to tell. Painstakingly carried out by talented luthiers, this time consuming process adds an extra degree of individuality. Built by Fender Custom Shop Home to some of the most talented luthiers in the world, Fender Custom Shop has been producing incredible guitars since they first opened back in 1987. With a wealth of knowledge and skill all under one roof, each guitar is instilled with some of that Custom Shop magic.
