Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic, 3A rosewood fingerboard, Super Faded Aged Black over 3-Color Sunburst.

As a new addition for 2024, Fender Custom Shop presents the 1963 Stratocaster® Super Heavy Relic®. The selected two-piece ash body offers great resonance and is paired with an extremely comfortable-playing maple neck, featuring a '63-style "C" shape and a 3A rosewood fingerboard, to deliver the sound and authentic feel of a quintessential early '60s Strat.

All this is wrapped in stunning Super Heavy Relic® lacquer finishes—Super Faded Aged Three-Color Sunburst over Three-Color Sunburst. The '63 Strat looks as though it has been played hard for decades. With a set of three Custom Shop Strat® '60/'63 hand-wound pickups (RWRP middle pickup), this guitar sounds as incredible as it looks.
