Overview

A meticulously crafted relic that captures the magic of a road-worn '57 Strat.

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '57 Stratocaster Relic captures all the magic of an original 1957 Strat that's been broken in over decades of playing. Every detail has been meticulously replicated by Fender's elite builders, from the relic'd nitro lacquer finish to the custom-wound pickups. Whether you crave vintage Fender tone or just can't resist that broken-in feel, this '57 Strat Relic delivers an inspiring playing experience steeped in history.

Relic Finish Mirrors a Cherished Original

From the moment you lay eyes on this '57 Strat Relic, it transports you back to Fender's golden age. The aged Tahitian coral nitro lacquer finish is riddled with checked paint, dents and scratches that could only come from decades on the road. The rift-sawn maple neck sports a smooth, worn-in profile that's been carefully replicated from a '57 original. With a bone nut and vintage-style tuning machines, you'll swear this guitar rolled off the line 65 years ago.

Vintage-Spec Construction Delivers Authentic Feel

Attention has been lavished on every component to recreate the playing feel of an original 1957 Strat. The one-piece maple neck sports a vintage-accurate '57 profile and slender 1.650" nut width. You'll appreciate the smooth, worn-in quality of the narrow-tall frets as you bend strings. From the bone nut to the vintage-style synchronized tremolo, the smallest construction details have been faithfully reproduced.

Custom-Wound Pickups Deliver Iconic Fender Tone

At the heart of any great Stratocaster are its pickups and this '57 Relic stays true to its vintage roots. The Custom Shop hand-wound '57 single-coil in the neck position produces those quintessential glassy Strat tones perfect for chord work and bluesy lead lines. In the middle you'll find a punchy Fat '50s single-coil, while the bridge pickup is a Texas Special Tele single-coil that sears with classic Tele twang. Together, these authentic vintage-spec pickups capture the very essence of the 1950s Fender tone that inspired generations of players.

Collectible Appeal With Deluxe Appointments

In addition to the stunning relic work, this '57 Strat Relic boasts several premium appointments that enhance its collector's appeal. The guitar comes protected in a deluxe hardshell case fit for a prized instrument. A strap and certificate of authenticity are also included, ensuring this Relic will be a treasured part of your collection for years to come.
