USED Fender Custom Shop / 2022 Limited Edition Red Hot Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic Aged Dirty White Blonde [05]

We have received a used 2022 Limited Edition Red Hot Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic Aged Dirty White Blonde, produced as part of the 2022 Collection Limited series.

This is an incredibly appealing limited-edition model that blends the meticulous craftsmanship unique to the Custom Shop with a vintage aesthetic. It features the "Dirty White Blonde" color, which replicates the effects of aging, and is finished with the "Super Heavy Relic" treatment that exudes an overwhelming presence. It possesses the character of a vintage guitar that has been played for many years, and is a instrument that fully showcases the Custom Shop’s exceptional craftsmanship.

The body is crafted from ash. Characterized by the rich tone and excellent response of its two-piece construction, it weighs approximately 3.49 kg, offering a well-balanced and easy-to-handle feel for a Stratocaster. Additionally, it features a deep contour, providing an excellent fit when held against the body.

The neck is crafted from AA-grade flame maple. The beautiful grain pattern makes a striking impression, enhancing the instrument’s premium appearance. The neck features a 1959-style “D” shape, balancing moderate thickness with a comfortable grip. The combination of a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard and 6105 Narrow Tall frets makes it versatile enough to handle everything from chord work to playing styles that rely heavily on bends.

It is equipped with a Hand-Wound Red Hot Strat Pickup Set. Compared to typical vintage-style Strats, these pickups offer greater output while still maintaining a well-defined tonal contour. In practice, the unnecessarily emphasized high end is subdued, resulting in a cohesive sound across all positions and a very manageable tonal character.While retaining the characteristic clarity and transparency of a Strat, it minimizes harsh high frequencies, allowing you to enjoy a lustrous, full-bodied tone when playing clean, and a rich, resilient midrange when driving the guitar.

It comes with a certificate of authenticity and a spec sheet, allowing you to fully appreciate its value as a limited-edition collectible model.

Combining a striking Super Heavy Relic finish, a beautiful flamed maple neck, and a cohesive, premium Stratocaster sound, this guitar boasts the exceptional craftsmanship unique to the Fender Custom Shop. It’s a special model recommended not only for those seeking a vintage feel but also for players who prioritize practical playability and an easy-to-handle sound.
