Guitar Description

Another recent example from the Fender Custom Shop that reminds us just how good they have become and making the Relic guitars. This lovely Strat has a very Buddy Holly style two tone finish (actually slightly darker in real life than the photos suggest) but it features a slimmer 69 U shape neck profile which when combined with the 9.5 radius and medium jumbo frets makes for a smooth silky and fast playing experience. This Strat has a lovely relic job, excellent checking, and a nicely dulled finish. It's a lovely weight, balanced and sounds incredible both acoustically and plugged in. A lovely spec and just a brilliant example.
