The Fender Custom Shop Limited Run 1957 Stratocaster Relic in Faded Aged 2-Tone Sunburst is a period-correct interpretation of the late‑’50s Strats with careful aging and player-focused appointments. The body is finished in a faded, lightly checked 2‑tone sunburst relic lacquer and paired with a quartersawn maple neck carved to a ’57 soft “V” profile, offering a slightly rounded, vintage feel through the lower and middle hand positions. Hardware is gold-plated for a distinctive look and the guitar is built to Custom Shop tolerances with hand-relieved frets and vintage-style nut and bridge setup for authentic playability and feel.
Under the hood, it’s handwired with Custom Shop Poblano Stratocaster pickups arranged in the classic three‑single‑coil layout, delivering warm, open vintage Strat tones with clear top end and touch sensitivity. Controls are traditional: master volume, two tone knobs, and a blade pickup selector; the wiring and pickup windings are meant to reproduce late‑’50s voicing while retaining dynamic response for modern use.
