Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’54 Stratocaster Heavy Relic, Wide Fade 2-Color Sunburst Fender Custom Shop

This incredible Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’54 Stratocaster Relic is part of a selection of Wide-Fade Teles we recently brought in from FCS, in honor of the company’s 70th anniversary. Featuring a Wide Fade 2-Color Sunburst, this instrument boasts vintage-inspired specs and a gorgeous treatment.

Cut from off-center ash in a two-piece configuration, the body mirrors the iconic ’56 Strat shape, recreated with precise contours and cutaways. The neck is attached with a special 70th-anniversary 4-bolt plate bearing the instrument’s serial number. Carved from 5/4 sawn maple, the neck features a comfortable compound fingerboard radius ranging from 7.25″ to 9.5″, topped with Micarta Black wide-spaced inlays and Medium Jumbo frets. Vintage tuning machines with the iconic Fender logo sit at the headstock, while relic’d hardware and a 5-way selector switch harken back to the ’54-’58 Strat era.

The finish showcases a unique wide-fade sunburst treated with Fender Custom Shop’s Relic treatment, with a moderate amount of wear and tear on the body, neck and hardware. A vintage-style trem arm and string tree, along with relic’d white ABS knobs and switch tip, complete the retro aesthetic.

This instrument comes accompanied by a deluxe Fender 70th Anniversary Strat case.
