Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1954 Fat Stratocaster Relic w/ Closet Classic Hardware (Aged Black)

To celebrate 70 years of the Stratocaster—the platinum anniversary of the world’s greatest electric guitar—the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition Fat ’54 Stratocaster Relic. Its two-piece select ash body resonates with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, clad in a ravishing Relic lacquer finish in Wide Fade Two-Colour Sunburst, Aged White Blonde, Aged Black and Super-Faded Aged Surf Green, and featuring slightly oxidised Closet Classic hardware for an authentically worn-in look. Its one-piece quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a special 70^th anniversary Soft “V” profile based on an incredible Strat neck from July 1954, topped by a 9.5”-radius fingerboard with 21 narrow tall (6105) frets and a 1.625” bone nut. Three Custom Shop hand-wound Fat ’50s Strat® pickups produce crisp highs and well-balanced mids and lows, using Fat ’50s Strat wiring and five-way switching. Other premium features and authentic first-year Strat appointments include a single-ply white pickguard, 1954-style ABS white pickup covers and control knobs, Custom Shop vintage synchronised tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners, disc string tree, special 70th Anniversary Stratocaster neck plate, deluxe embroidered hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
