Fender Custom Shop Red Hot Stratocaster #CZ580650 - super heavy relic chocolate 3-color sunburst

Elaborated from the platform of a "1960 Stratocaster", the FENDER Custom Shop Time Machine Red Hot Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic Faded Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst #CZ580650 (9231013158) is a reinterpretation of the typical Strat of the early 1960s, ideally combining vintage and more contemporary features.

Solid body electric guitar, "Swamp Ash" body selected "sort for lightweight", bolt-on neck and solid Maple fingerboard (quarter cut, 1959 D profile, jumbo frets, 9.5" radius), Custom Shop Hand-wound Red Hot pickups from which it takes its name, will certainly be appreciated by guitarists who like more generous saturation.

The Fender Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, Jaguar Precision Bass or Jazz Bass are legendary electrics that are an integral part of the history of amplified music, having contributed amply to its expansion and democratization.
The ideal would be to be the proud owner of an original from the 50s or 60s, but the price of vintage instruments is so high that it's difficult for anyone to get access to them. Concerning the Relic finish: the dealers present at NAMM 1995 were totally blown away by the level of realism of the first two Relic models that Fender presented to them that year. Despite being vintage connoisseurs, they mistook them for genuine Fender originals (a '51 Nocaster and a '56 Mary Kaye Stratocaster).
The early-aging process is now fully mastered, and accounts for the bulk of Custom Shop sales...
