This Strat has reached that dangerous level of cool where you don't even have to plug it in.

Just lean it against an amp and watch three guitar players wander over pretending they're "just looking."

We've all done it.

And then someone inevitably asks, "Can I try it for just a second?" Forty-five minutes later they're still playing, you've forgotten what conversation you were having, and everyone else in the room is quietly calculating what they could sell to take it home.

Fender's Custom Shop absolutely knocked this one out of the park. From the gorgeous Chocolate 3-Tone Sunburst Relic finish to the incredibly comfortable Soft "V" maple neck, this guitar captures everything players love about an old Strat—without requiring a second mortgage or a museum curator.

Those Hand-Wound Fat '50s pickups deliver everything you'd hope for: sparkling cleans, glassy in-between tones, warm blues, snappy country twang, and enough vintage character to make you wonder why anyone ever thought they needed more than three single coils.

Condition & Included Items

Born on December 14th, 2023, this Strat is in Excellent+ Relic Condition. The factory relic work is exactly as intended by the Fender Custom Shop, and beyond that intentional aging, the guitar has been exceptionally well cared for. The frets are in outstanding shape, the neck feels incredible, and it plays every bit as good as it looks.

Included with the guitar are the original Fender Custom Shop Tweed Case, leather certificate portfolio, Certificate of Authenticity, original Floor Traveler, Fender Custom Shop leather strap, tremolo arm, case candy, and all the original paperwork and accessories shown in the photos.

If you've been searching for a Strat that nails the look, feel, and sound of a road-tested late-'50s original, this one deserves a spot at the very top of your list. It's lightweight, resonant, ridiculously comfortable, and packed with the unmistakable tone that has made the Stratocaster one of the most recorded guitars in history.

Fair warning... if you bring this one to a jam session, be prepared to answer the same question over and over:

"Okay... seriously... where did you find THAT one?"

Whoever brings this baby home is gonna be STOKED!!
