For sale or possible trades is this 2016 Fender Custom Shop ’67 Strat Relic in Faded Three-Color Sunburst. This is by far the best aging finish-work I have ever seen on a guitar. It honestly feels and looks like a 50-year-old strat that has been played hard, but maintained! I only wish Fender had a way of getting it to smell like a vintage strat too…then it would be near 100% convincing. The guitar plays and sounds incredible, as most Custom Shop Fenders do. Comes with COA, case candy, and black tolex G&G Custom Shop case. The guitar shows no obvious signs of natural play wear, other than what came from the factory. Weighs 7.8lbs.  See specifications below.  Here are the specs from Fender:  Model Name: 1967 Stratocaster® Heavy Relic® Model Number: 1550670800 Series: Time Machine Body: Lightweight Alder Neck: Tinted Maple Neck with a 1966 Oval "C" Back-Shape, (Heavy Relic Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish) Fingerboard: Laminated Rosewood, 9.5” (241 mm) Radius No. of Frets: 21, 6105 Narrow Jumbo Frets Scale Length: 25.5” (648 mm) Width @ Nut: Bone 1.650” (42 mm) Hardware: Nickel/Chrome Machine Heads: Vintage Style Machine Heads Bridge: American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo Pickguard: 3-Ply Parchment Pickups: Hand-Wound 1969 Neck Pickup, Hand-Wound Reverse-Wound Reverse-Polarity 1965 Middle Pickup, Hand-Wound Fat' 60s Bridge Pickup Pickup Switching: 5-Position Blade: Position 1.
