USED Fender Custom Shop / 1956 Stratocaster Relic Fiesta Red [03]

A 1956 Stratocaster Relic from 2022 has arrived!
Featuring a carefully selected two-piece alder body and a quarter-sawn maple neck. The neck features a “57 Style Soft ‘V’” profile that offers just the right amount of grip for a comfortable hold, paired with a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard and a slightly narrower, taller “Narrow Tall (6105)” profile to ensure excellent playability.

It’s equipped with original “Fat 50s” pickups, which deliver a punchy, classic ’50s Strat tone that’s crisp yet full-bodied. The “Strat Vint Mod #2” control setup allows the tone control to affect the bridge pickup as well—a feature sure to please players.

As this is a relic-finished model, the details of the added scratches are unclear; however, scratches that appear to have been added later are scattered in key areas, and the guitar shows some signs of use. The 5th-string tuner is a bit stiff, but tuning is currently not an issue.

The truss rod is currently almost fully loosened, but the neck is straight and in good condition, with ample fret wear remaining.

The pickups have been replaced once, and there are signs that they were later reinstalled with the original ones. Presumably as a result of this, all the mounting screws have been replaced.
Additionally, a non-original tremolo arm is included. It is longer than the original and sits higher off the body when installed.

Although some parts have been replaced, the key components remain in their original condition, making this a player’s-condition guitar that’s still ready for plenty of use!
