A road-tested Strat that blends vintage vibe with modern tone.
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Texas Stratocaster Heavy Relic captures the soul of a hard-gigging guitar that's endured countless smoky bars and arena crowds. This relic'd Strat appears well-traveled yet remains eager for its next adventure, fueled by scorching Texas Special single-coils and a flexible mid-boost circuit. Whether recreating classic tones or blazing new trails, the Texas Strat is your steadfast companion.
Relic Mojo From the First Downbeat
From the moment you slide the Texas Strat out of its case, the heavy relic treatment teleports you to a well-broken-in instrument dripping with vintage mojo. Simulated dings, dents and worn-away stain expose the wood grain underneath a nitrocellulose lacquer finish that will continue to age gracefully with your playing. The maple neck has been artificially reliced to recreate decades of playing wear while maintaining its signature '65 C-shaped profile for classic Fender feel.
Vintage-Inspired Playability and Resonance
Much like the Strats that inspired it, the Texas model nails that signature playing feel that's kept players coming back for over 60 years. The vintage-style tremolo offers that familiar cast look and buttery smooth travel. The '65 C-shaped neck profile feels broken-in while providing the hand-filling shoulders and medium-depth rear that so many players love. The 9.5" fingerboard radius makes bending notes a breeze. Vintage-tall frets add just the right amount of grit under the fingers.
Texas-Sized Tones From Custom Single-Coils
Under the hood, the Texas Strat is armed with a trio of Texas Special single-coil pickups designed to push your sound into overdrive. The bridge pickup packs plenty of bite to cut through the densest mix, while the neck and middle pickups offer warmth and clarity for sparkling cleans or vocal lead tones. A mid-boost circuit adds extra girth and presence, letting you dial in the perfect amount of beef for your playing style.
Instant Storied Appeal Right Out of the Box
With its heavy relic lacquer checking, simulated buckle wear and rusted hardware, the Texas Strat looks like it's been gigging since the 70s—yet it remains primed to conjure your own tales of glory. The nitrocellulose finish will continue to age and mellow in a way that can't be replicated in the factory. Grab this limited edition model and make your own mark on its well-traveled journey.
