Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 50's Stratocaster Relic - Super Aged Desert Sand

Want a Custom Shop ’56 Strat with real character? Look no further. This axe’s Super Aged Desert Sand finish gives it that dry, worn‑in vibe that feels instantly familiar. Lacquer keeps it lively, and alder brings the classic Strat snap you expect.

Quartersawn maple neck adds a strong, direct response, and the 11/56 Off Center V carve gives you a distinct early‑Fender feel. A 9.5 radius with narrow tall frets makes it easy to move around, and wide‑spaced Micarta dots keep the vintage aesthetic tight.

Gold aluminum on the pickguard sets off the color in a way that really pops. RSD hardware feels solid under the hand. Handwound 11/56 single‑coils deliver bright, open tones with plenty of chime, and the 5‑way switch gives you all the classic Strat positions.
