Fender Custom Shop 56 Relic Stratocaster Ltd edition

Description

Another superb example of recent Custom Shop mastery. This lovely 56 Relic Strat is a light weight, comfy, well balanced Strat that is a pleasure to play and sounds incredible. It came in part exchange from a superb blues player who really knows his instruments. It was originally sold new in the USA and later imported to England. Unusually for a 1956 Relic is it finished in a three tone, rather than two tone, sunburst finish. With the jumbo frets and rolled fingerboard edges its lovely to play. We have given it a full set up, levelled the frets and brought it up to its optimum potential. A stunning Limited Edition example and a wonderful instrument.
