Overview

A celebration of the original Strat with all the right stuff.

The Fender Custom Shop 1954 Heavy Relic Stratocaster Electric Guitar is finely crafted with a rich selection of features and appointments, in addition to a heavy relic treatment that evokes decades of use, abuse and hard-fought wear and tear.

The one-piece ash body features a battered nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck has a comfortable 1954 “U”-shaped profile and a 9.5” fretboard radius with 6105 frets for smooth playability.

Three 1954 single-coil Stratocaster pickups deliver a singing original-era voice. Other features include modern five-way pickup switching, a single-ply white pickguard, synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners and chrome hardware. Hardshell case included.
