USED Fender Custom Shop / 1957 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Seafoam Green [03]

We’ve just received a used 2020 1957 Startocaster Heavy Relic!
Featuring a 2-piece alder body and a 1-piece quarter-sawn maple neck—the classic wood combination of a 1957 Stratocaster. It features narrow-tall (6105) frets and a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard for excellent playability, along with a “57 Style Soft V” neck profile that offers just the right amount of grip.

It’s equipped with “Hand-wound 50’s Start” pickups, delivering a rugged, powerful sound characteristic of the ’50s, along with the excellent response unique to hand-wound pickups and a crystal-clear, bell-like tone in the high frequencies.
The control layout uses “Strat Vint Mod Wiring #1,” a practical configuration that allows the tone control to affect the bridge pickup as well.

Due to its heavy relic finish, the details of any later scratches are unclear; however, there are playing marks such as pick scratches on the body and pickguard, and buckle marks on the back of the body, though no major, noticeable damage is present.
The neck is in good condition with ample fret life remaining.

The tremolo arm is slightly bent on the screw side; while this does not affect its use or installation, there are spots where it feels stiff when inserting it.
Additionally, the rubber tubes securing the pickups have been replaced at all six mounting points.

With its vibrant Seafoam Green color and rugged, authentic-looking heavy relic finish, this is a truly wonderful guitar!
