Description
The Fender Custom Shop Special Edition 58 Compound Radius Stratocaster Relic is a refined vintage-style Strat that blends authentic 50s character with modern playability. Built from a two-piece ash body and finished in a wide fade two-colour sunburst relic lacquer it captures the worn-in look of a well-loved original while retaining the precision of a Custom Shop build. Its hand-wound 58 Strat pickups deliver the unmistakable chime bite and clarity that define classic Strat tone responding smoothly to changes in pick attack and volume for a dynamic and expressive playing experience. The quartersawn maple neck features a 57-style soft V profile paired with a 9.5″ to 12″ compound radius making it comfortable for chords while allowing cleaner bends higher up the neck. Narrow tall frets provide a precise feel under the fingers while vintage-style hardware a bone nut and 5-way switching complete the traditional spec. Supplied with a tweed Custom Shop case this Strat offers the feel of a broken-in 50s instrument with the versatility and consistency needed for modern performance and recording work.
