USED Fender Custom Shop / '60s Roasted Mahogany Stratocaster Heavy Relic Olympic White [03]

A 2017 custom-order model from an overseas dealer has arrived!
Featuring a body crafted from roasted Fijian mahogany, a quarter-sawn maple neck that has been roasted to match the body, and a round-inlaid rosewood fingerboard, this model boasts unique specifications that are characteristic of overseas dealers.

The neck features a “59 Large ‘C’” profile with just the right amount of grip, a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard, and the slightly narrower, taller “SANKO 6105” profile. The grip, which maintains a consistent thickness from the low to the high frets, produces a full-bodied, robust sound with excellent sustain and is well-suited for a tight grip style.

The pickups include “Josefina Hand-Wound ’62 Strat” models in the neck and middle positions, and a “Seymour Duncan Little ’59 (SL59-1b)” in the bridge position.In addition to the beautiful, bell-like tone characteristic of hand-wound vintage Stratocasters, the neck and middle positions feature mellow, sweet highs and a fat, warm midrange, while the bridge position offers a humbucker sound that adds just the right amount of sharpness to the legendary Gibson P.A.F. tone.
In each position, the rich midrange of the roasted mahogany body combines with the pickups to produce a superb sound that is even fuller and juicier than that of a standard alder body.

Additionally, it features the “Strat Vint Mod #2” control setup, which allows the tone control to affect the bridge pickup as well—a welcome feature for players.

Due to its heavy relic finish, the details of the scratches added later are unclear; however, the discoloration of the hardware and playing wear indicate a certain degree of use. The neck is in excellent condition, and there is ample fret life remaining.

The pickguard has been replaced from mint green to white, and the 3-way selector switch has been upgraded to a 5-way selector. The spare bridge pickup (Josefina Hand-Wound '62 Strat) that originally came with the guitar is missing; while the original case was a brown hard case, this guitar comes with a black hard case from the same brand. Additionally, the springs and case key are missing.

Although some accessories are missing, the main body—which is the most important part—is still in excellent “player’s condition” and ready for use. This is a rare guitar with specifications that are rarely custom-ordered in Japan!
