Fender Custom Shop '57 Relic Stratocaster 2022 Aged White Blonde

Straight from the Fender Custom Shop Time Machine Series, this '57 Stratocaster delivers pure late-‘50s tone and feel with a look that screams rock 'n roll history. Dressed in a beautifully worn Aged White Blonde nitro finish, the ash bodyhas been treated with a light relic job—complete with finish checking and just the right amount of playwear. A quartersawn maple neck with a '57 Soft V profile and slab fingerboard ensures authentic feel, while a set of handwound Custom Shop pickups (’57 Neck/Middle and ’57 Bridge) gives you glassy highs, bell-like mids, and a tight low-end punch that defines the classic Strat sound.
