Product Description

2017 Fender Custom Shop 1967 Strat

A really sharp reissue from the Custom Shop in a custom color, hand aged to perfection and originally built for Alto Music here in New York. This guitar features all the iconic looks of the '67 Strat with a large headstock, pearl dots, and the fatter black outlined gold logo; but finished in the classic Seafoam Green which is very rare if even in existence at all on an original. The specs have been modernized with the player friendly 9.5" radius and 6105 fret size. A handwound set of the fan favorite combination of '69 neck, '65 middle reverse wound/revers polarity, and Fat 60's bridge pickups power the Strat. They are wired to a 5 way switch with the vintage mod wiring, giving the middle tone control over the neck and middle pickup with the rear tone wired to the bridge pickup.

The guitar is in excellent condition with hardly any fret wear and no damage outside of the aging package. This one is a very heavy relic, bordering on the super heavy relic guitars seen in current Custom Shop production. There is a good amount of finish worn away on the back, edges, the forearm contour, and the top. The aging of the finish simulates the fading and discoloration on an old custom color very well. Certain areas are faded lighter while other spots appear dark and smokey, with the under coat showing in spots a nice touch from Fender. The finish has a substantial amount of checking on the body with an accurate variation in size and amount of grime worked into the lacquer checks. The neck has most of the finish worn away in the playing area, exposing the wood and the comfortable feel that so many are after with Relic'd instruments. The tremolo arm has a slight bend in the threaded section, but threads in to the bridge fine and is unaffected in its function.
