Product Description
Here is a nice Fender Custom Shop '56 Stratocaster Relic in Copper Metallic! This one is from 2008 and it is in excellent condition.
Specs include an alder body, maple neck, single ply white guard, and vintage style tremolo bridge. It has a 9.5" radius with medium jumbo frets. The guitar is nicely aged with plenty of forearm and neck wear, a convincingly aged fretboard and just the right amount of chipping around the body edges.
The guitar appears to have spent most of the time in its case. There are some light pick marks on the guard and other light signs of handling, but no damage or wear that looks non-factory.
It weighs in at 7lbs 7oz. The neck measures .880 to 1.000 at the 1st and 12th. It has a classic '56 boat neck with a soft V down low that rounds out and fattens subtly higher up the register. It has good sustain with a warm, woodiness off the body, accompanied by a crisp top end. The pickups are bold and round, a nice 50s style set that are not overly hot, but have good punch and glassiness. A great-looking and well preserved guitar!
Ships in the original hardshell case and includes the COA, tremolo arm, cloth, cable, picks, bridge cover, extra switch and other paperwork.
