Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster 1960 Relic With Humbucker

Description

Another superb Strat from the Fender Custom Shop. From 2018 this 1960 Relic has a great pickup line up with two hand wound Texas specials and a Jeff Beck Humbucker in the bridge for classic rock tones. Finished in black with a great Relic finish and a very authentic Tort guard which completes the overall look. We didn’t need to do too much to this, it came to us in amazing condition so we’ve given it a clean and full adjustment set up and it’s playing superbly with a 1.5 mm action across the strings with no chocking on bends. The rosewood board is super dark which is always a massive plus. Rated as AAA grade on the Fender build sheet. Another lovely instrument from Fender that recreates an important time in their history. Unusual to find one with the humbucker at the bridge which is nice.

Amazing condition. We've given it a basic set up which is all it needed. Tons of fret life. A tiny mark on rear of neck, can't feel while playing and seen in certain lights only.
