Overview

A unique relic with some modern touches.

The Fender Custom Shop 1956 Relic Roasted Stratocaster Namm Limited Edition offers all of the inspiration of a beat-up original-era Strat and more. It features a roasted alder body, one of the favorite neck shapes—a V-shaped 10/56 profile—plus a 9.5 in. radius fingerboard for easier string bending, 21 6105 frets, and hand-wound Fat '60s pickups with a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup that produces humbucking "in-between" sounds. Includes case and limited edition neck-plate.
