When it comes to authentically retro guitars, there's few places you could find something better than this Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '60 Stratocaster Relic in a luscious Vintage White. This limited release Fender Custom Shop Strat features a vast lineup of top-shelf specifications, eccentric electronics, and vividly vintage aesthetics. Pitch-perfect in just about every way, this limited Stratocaster has style to spare.

The Fender Custom Shop has a reputation for incredible, vintage-inspired, custom guitars. This particular limited edition Strat model is of no exception. Everything here kicks off with a two-piece alder body, sorted for weight. In Fender Custom Shop construction, being "sorted for weight" refers to a process where a Custom Shop builder will choose a body among a lot for it having the lightest weight. This then makes for a body that contributes to an overall lighter weight and feel, easily carried across a stage or balanced over the knee. What's more, this sorted alder works great as a canvas to wrap a Fender Custom Shop Relic finish treatment around with some grain exposed underneath.

From here, a 5/4 quartersawn maple neck extends out in a '60s Style Oval "C" profile. One of the Custom Shop's most popular profiles known for its slim feel and speediness, this profile facilitates fast moves from lower to higher registers – measuring from .790" at the first fret to .930" at the twelfth. This neck is matched up with a dark-tinted nine millimeter AAA rosewood fingerboard lined with twenty-one 6105 Narrow Tall frets. Again, one of Fender Custom Shop's most popular picks, Narrow Tall fret wire offers up better articulation through a taller height and thinner width. This rosewood is lined with Micarta White facedots and measures with a more modern 9.5" radius.

Those looking for a proverbial "classic" Strat experience need look no further than this Custom Shop. Onboard, three hand-wound '60-'63 Strat single-coil pickups land with all the shimmer, sparkle, and snap that made the model an icon. The middle position's pickup features reverse-wound, reverse-polarity design that adds that subtle bit of variation. These pickups are shaped through the Custom Shop's Vintage Modified Strat #2 wiring with a built-in Tone Saver treble bleed and 250K 10% split taper potentiometers.

This limited edition Custom Shop Strat is topped off with a number of hardware specifications. At the base of the scale, a Fender American Vintage Stratocaster bridge lands for easy vibrato bends while a bone nut and Vintage-Style tuning machines keeps stringing and intonation steady. A couple extra elements make this Strat pop with a Fender Custom Shop limited edition neck plate and headstock decal, a matching Vintage White headstock cap, and an included Fender Custom Shop Strat/Tele Brown hardshell case.

It's never too early (or too late) to go retro. Don't believe us? Take it from the Fender Custom Shop and this limited Strat.
