Every detail has been meticulously replicated by Fender´s elite builders, from the relic´d nitro lacquer finish to the custom-wound pickups. Whether you crave vintage Fender tone or just can´t resist that broken-in feel, this ´57 Strat Relic delivers an inspiring playing experience steeped in history.

Relic Finish Mirrors a Cherished Original

From the moment you lay eyes on this ´57 Strat Relic, it transports you back to Fender´s golden age. The aged Tahitian coral nitro lacquer finish is riddled with checked paint, dents and scratches that could only come from decades on the road. The rift-sawn maple neck sports a smooth, worn-in profile that´s been carefully replicated from a ´57 original. With a bone nut and vintage-style tuning machines, you´ll swear this guitar rolled off the line 65 years ago.

Vintage-Spec Construction Delivers Authentic Feel

Attention has been lavished on every component to recreate the playing feel of an original 1957 Strat. The one-piece maple neck sports a vintage-accurate ´57 profile and slender 1.650" nut width. You´ll appreciate the smooth, worn-in quality of the narrow-tall frets as you bend strings. From the bone nut to the vintage-style synchronized tremolo, the smallest construction details have been faithfully reproduced.

Custom-Wound Pickups Deliver Iconic Fender Tone

At the heart of any great Stratocaster are its pickups and this ´57 Relic stays true to its vintage roots. The Custom Shop hand-wound ´57 single-coil in the neck position produces those quintessential glassy Strat tones perfect for chord work and bluesy lead lines. In the middle you´ll find a punchy Fat ´50s single-coil, while the bridge pickup is a Texas Special Tele single-coil that sears with classic Tele twang. Together, these authentic vintage-spec pickups capture the very essence of the 1950s Fender tone that inspired generations of players.

Collectible Appeal With Deluxe Appointments

In addition to the stunning relic work, this ´57 Strat Relic boasts several premium appointments that enhance its collector´s appeal. The guitar comes protected in a deluxe hardshell case fit for a prized instrument. A strap and certificate of authenticity are also included, ensuring this Relic will be a treasured part of your collection for years to come.
