Description Product Description The Fender Custom Shop 1963 Relic Stratocaster takes you back to a pivotal period in the instrument's history, when surf music was riding high and the Strat underwent some notable design mods. Its deep-contoured alder body has a lacquer Relic finish and is voiced with sparkling tone from three hand-wound '60s Stratocaster single-coil pickups (reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup) with modern five-way switching. Other premium features include a quartersawn maple neck with a comfortable '60s "oval C" profile and small headstock, 9.5"-radius "round-laminated" rosewood fingerboard with 21 6105 frets, three-ply mint green pickguard, vintage white control knobs, American Vintage bridge, and American Vintage tuning machines.
