Limited run of 100 instruments, team-built at
Fender's Custom Shop.
Description
The 1959 STRATOCASTER RELIC LTD guitar (Builder Select - Masterbuilt by Todd Krause) comes in limited
run of 100 instruments.
This Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition beauty has been given the full-on Relic treatment to show years
of natural wear and tear—nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty nickel/chrome hardware, distressed aluminum
pickguard and aged plastic parts. The premium ash body has a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The one-piece
maple neck has a C-shaped profile, and a 9-1/2" radius African rosewood fingerboard. Nickel/chrome
hardware includes Fender/Gotoh tuners and an American Vintage synchronized tremolo with ashtray cover.
Of its 3 custom wound Fat '50s single-coil pickups, the middle pickup is reverse wound, reverse polarity
to cancel hum. Includes a custom black hardshell case with an emerald-green crushed velvet interior,
a Limited Edition certificate, a DVD interview with master luthier John English, and a Master binder
with copies of John English's notes and bio.
