For sale: a 2021 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster 1959 Heavy Relic, an exceptional instrument that perfectly captures the magic of a late-’50s Strat while offering flawless modern playability.

The 1959 Stratocaster is considered by many to be one of the finest eras in Fender history, and this Custom Shop recreation leaves nothing to be desired. Every detail has been carefully executed to deliver the feel, resonance, and character of a well-loved vintage original.

One of the highlights of this guitar is its factory-installed hand-wired Texas Special pickup set. These pickups deliver everything a great Strat should: sparkling highs, rich harmonic content, punchy mids, and outstanding touch sensitivity. They clean up beautifully with the volume control while producing that unmistakable Texas-style bite when pushed, making the guitar equally at home playing blues, rock, funk, or classic Fender clean tones.

The highly desirable 9.5″ fingerboard radius offers what many players consider the perfect balance between vintage feel and modern comfort. Chords feel natural, while bends remain effortless all the way up the neck without fretting out.

Another standout feature is the stunning dark rosewood fingerboard. Beautifully figured and richly colored, it perfectly complements the relic finish while adding warmth and elegance to both the appearance and the tone of the instrument.

The Heavy Relic treatment has been masterfully executed, giving the guitar the look and feel of a Stratocaster that’s spent decades making music. Combined with the exceptional resonance and responsiveness of the instrument, it creates an inspiring playing experience that few modern guitars can match.

This is a world-class Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster built for players who demand vintage character without sacrificing reliability or playability.
