Product Description
Key Features
- Relic Nitro - Expertly aged in a genuinely authentic and tasteful way, this [model] looks like it's been someone's favourite guitar for over 50 years.
- AA-Grade Flamed Maple Neck - The breathtakingly beautiful AA-grade Flamed Maple Neck helps put this expertly crafted Custom Shop Strat in a class of its own.
- Large C - The perfect C-shaped profile for players who like the rounded shape of the C profile but want something a little bigger up and down the neck.
Original Woods
Fender's original wood combination of an Ash body partnered up with a Maple neck. The Ash provides a sweet and resonant well-balanced guitar tone which is brilliantly complimented by the brightness and responsiveness of the maple neck.
'50-‘51 Blackguard Pickups
The Fender Custom Shop '50-'51 Blackguard pickups are faithful recreations of quite possibly the most historically important electric guitar pickups ever to be produced… the set that started it all. Constructed using period-correct fibre bobbins and cloth wire, flush (no stagger) Alnico 3 magnets with Enamel-coated magnet wire and a Tin-plated Copper base plate these vintage-accurate pickups produce the esteemed shimmer and twang that early Teles are famed for. These medium-output pickups produce a balanced tone with a clear and focused midrange and a tight low-end and work well with all playing styles.
