Few thing equal the magic of a "beat up Fender strat", and this is one that truly takes the cake. This relic stratocaster is built for tone, playability, and classic looks. The basic framework is a 1956 stratocaster, but this version of it comes with custom wiring, our famous custom shop fat 50s pickups, taller 6105 frets, and flatter 9.5 radius

The classic 10/56 neck shape is one of our most popular neckshapes, and the feel and the sound of this guitar is something that every Strat player must experience. The custom wirng enables the player the ability to use the moddle tone control on the bridge pickup as well.
