USED FENDER CUSTOM SHOP / 60th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Relic Black [03]

A 2014 Fender Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Relic Black has arrived.

Commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Stratocaster’s debut, this model faithfully recreates the original first-year specifications and the instrument’s classic, imposing appearance.

In keeping with the original specifications, it features the rugged 1954 body shape—with shallow contouring on the top and back and substantial thickness along the sides—as well as a rounded headstock with chamfered edges. Furthermore, it faithfully reproduces every detail, including the round string guides used until around 1956.

It also recreates niche details that enthusiasts will love, such as the short-skirt knobs, the backplate with the serial number engraved, and the perfectly circular string-through holes in the plate.

The ash body is paired with a one-piece quarter-sawn maple neck, crafted from the thick, stable “1954 ‘U’ Shape” material characteristic of vintage instruments.

The narrow-tall frets and a 9.5R radius ensure comfortable playability.

The body is finished in “Black.”
It features a relic finish—a thin lacquer finish that allows the ash’s grain to show through—giving it a truly distinctive look.

It is equipped with “Custom Shop 1954 Strat” pickups.
While retaining vintage elements such as tall D-shaped pole pieces, cross-wound coils, and a polystyrene cover, it delivers the delicate, three-dimensional tone characteristic of early Stratocasters.

There are some traces of solder repairs.
One of the hardware fittings on the included case is broken, and the handle is crushed and dented.

In addition to the original relic finish, there are signs of wear such as scratches, dents, and picking marks; however, the guitar has been maintained and is in good playing condition.

A 60th-anniversary model commemorating the birth of the Stratocaster!
This is a truly magnificent guitar, with meticulous attention to detail down to the very finest points!
Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity.
