The tinted quartersawn maple neck, paired with a dark rosewood fingerboard, delivers both structural stability and tonal warmth, enhanced by the classic 60 Style Oval “C” neck shape and matching peg head detail. A 9.5 inch radius and 6105 frets provide a modern playing surface hidden within a vintage inspired feel, while the bone nut supports clean sustain and natural resonance. Every detail of the neck design reflects a balance between historical accuracy and refined playability.

Sonically, this Stratocaster is powered by a set of Custom Shop hand wound 60/63 pickups, voiced for clarity, sparkle, and dynamic responsiveness. The middle pickup is RWRP for hum canceling in positions two and four, allowing the guitar’s iconic in between tones to remain quiet and articulate. Vintage Modified #2 wiring with a treble bleed circuit and a five way switch ensures consistent tonal balance across all positions, preserving high end detail even at lower volumes while maintaining the expressive character expected from a vintage inspired Strat.

The 3 ply mint green pickguard, vintage 60s style hardware, and overall aged aesthetic complete the visual presentation with understated authenticity. At 7 lbs 11 oz, the instrument offers a comfortable, resonant feel that enhances both stage and studio performance.

Housed in a deluxe hardshell case and accompanied by a limited edition certificate and commemorative decal, this 1960 Stratocaster Relic stands as #100 from the Summer Showcase Event, marking it as a notable entry in the series while remaining a highly expressive Custom Shop instrument.
