Description

The Fender Custom Shop 63 Stratocaster Heavy Relic RW Faded Aged Sonic Blue captures the worn-in character of a well-played early-60s Strat with precise Custom Shop craftsmanship. Built from a two-piece alder body and finished in Faded Aged Sonic Blue lacquer the guitar reflects the look of an instrument that has seen decades of regular use. The Heavy Relic treatment introduces extensive finish wear and aged hardware recreating the visual and tactile feel of a Strat that has spent years on stage. The neck is constructed from quarter-sawn maple and paired with a round-laminated AAA rosewood fingerboard measuring approximately 9 mm thick. A 63 Strat Style C profile 9.5″ radius and narrow tall 6105 fret wire provide a comfortable playing feel with vintage-inspired response. Electronics are handled by hand-wound Fat 60s pickups with a reverse-wound middle pickup for hum-cancelling in positions two and four. Combined with Strat Vintage Modified Wiring #2 and a CRL 5-way switch this Custom Shop build delivers classic Strat tone with clarity articulation and dynamic response.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.

S Style Electric Guitars

S style electric guitars are known for their comfortable contours, versatile tones, and expressive playability. Typically featuring a double-cutaway body and a vibrato bridge, they offer easy access to higher frets and a naturally balanced feel whether standing or seated. Their pickup configurations often favour clarity and articulation, making them well suited to clean sounds, edge-of-breakup tones, and expressive lead playing, while still handling heavier styles with the right setup. S style guitars are valued for their responsiveness to touch and dynamics, making them a popular choice for players who want an instrument that feels fluid, familiar, and adaptable across a wide range of music.
