Fender Custom Shop '61 Heavy Relic Stratocaster 2022 Sonic Blue over Sunburst

This Stratocaster combines striking visuals with period-correct specs and some modern enhancements that vintage purists and serious players will instantly appreciate. Featuring a jaw-dropping Sonic Blue over 3-Tone Sunburst finish in a heavy relic treatment, this guitar looks like it’s lived through decades of smoky clubs and road tours. The quartersawn maple neck sports a 60s-style oval “C” profile with custom taper (.790"–.980"), combined with a dark Indian rosewood fretboard and a 9.5" radius—built for both comfort and playability. Under the hood, this Strat is loaded with hand-wound Texas Special pickups (bridge, middle, and neck) and vintage modified #2 wiring with a tone-saver treble bleed, ensuring classic Strat spank with modern tonal flexibility.

This is part of the 2022 Fender Custom Shop Time Machine Collection, and it's no ordinary reissue—every detail is dialed in to vintage specs with era-accurate plastics, nitro finish, and hardware relicing. If you're looking for that authentic '60s tone and feel in a unique custom finish, this one is a standout.
