The “Stratocaster”—perfected by boutique relic pioneer Bill Nash: A wonderful ’63 model in a “Candy Apple Red Heavy Relic” finish.

An absolutely authentic vintage Strat with exactly the right sound, look, and feel. Older Nash models from around 2014 are extremely popular in the scene. Back then, Bill Nash still built most of the instruments himself in extremely small batches.
