Fender Custom Shop '57 Stratocaster Relic overview by GAK!

A lovely 1957 Relic Strat. Featuring an extra light two-piece Ash body.  The one-piece quartersawn Maple neck has the 10/56 'V' profile which measures .880" at the 1st fret fattening out to .980" at the 12th fret. It is also known as the 'Boat Neck', it has small shoulders with most of it's girth at the very centre of the back of the neck. The 9.5" radius fingerboard and narrow & tall 6105 frets offer a definite improvement in playability for 90% of guitarists. The nut is Micarta and measures 1.65". Electronics wise Fender have gone for a slightly hotter trio of Josefina Campos handwound '60s single coils with a reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup. Ships with Custom Shop Tweed case with lots of candy.
