Guitar Description

Was very happy to find this stunning Fender Custom Shop Relic Strat from 2017. Sonic Blue has to be my favorite colour by far. This is a Relic of a 55 Strat with stunning visuals, extensive checking on the finish and a gorgeous Relic job. This one has a fairly chunky neck feel, a gentle 50s V to the shape. If you like them fairly chunky then you'll love this! A great pickup combo too, fat 50s in the middle and neck position but a Texas Special in the bridge. The sound is awesome as you can imagine. Acoustically it resonates well with a great energy about it. Has been lightly played and remains in superb condition. The previous owner did have a different scratch plate on it (so he could try some other pickups) but it's now been put back with all it's original parts, had a full set up and fret level etc etc so it's playing the best it ever has. Another wonderful guitar from the Fender Custom Shop in a colour that will make you fall in love.

Extra holes drilled for alterntive back plate he fitted (not seen with original back plate back on) no extra hols in front on pick guard install.
