The early Strat still lives!

This awesome reproduction was created by the Custom Shop for the Time Machines Series. Features of the '56 Relic Strat include an alder or ash body depending on finish (ash on the vintage blonde), and the original 10/56 shaped maple neck. Its Relic finish treatment gives it the look of a well-played axe. Includes a Fender deluxe hardshell case.

Feels like an original !!!

I own one of the Fender '56 "Relic" Stratocasters and after playing it for a year and setting it up for rock and blues, I can atest that this is one beautiful guitar. I've owned many stratocaster from 1967 on and the neck on this "relic" fits my hand just right. I've played an original 1958 Fender Stratocaster and this one is very much like it, at a fraction of the cost. I switch off between my original '78 Blonde Telecaster and the Fiesta Red '56 Relic Strat and , quite honestly, love them both!
