Apparently, someone walked into the Fender Custom Shop, ordered a gorgeous '67 Stratocaster, and then said, "This is fantastic! Now let's make Steve Lukather jealous!"

This spectacular 2021 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster started life as a rare British Racing Green Over Aztec Gold Heavy Relic masterpiece. Then someone decided that vintage looks and modern firepower should get married, and the results are absolutely ridiculous... in the BEST possible way!

Out went the traditional tremolo and pickups, and in came a Vigier Locking Tremolo, an EMG humbucker, two EMG single coils, and a sleek black and gray pearloid pickguard. The result? A Strat that looks like it survived Woodstock but is perfectly willing to tackle the entire Toto catalog before lunch!

And here's the kicker: ALL of the original pickups, electronics, pickguard, and replaced hardware are included! The original loaded pickguard is still intact, so you've got the best of both worlds.

Condition & What's Included

This incredible Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster is in excellent condition, with its spectacular factory Heavy Relic treatment proudly displaying layers of British Racing Green and Aztec Gold. The checking, exposed wood, finish wear, and battle scars are all part of the Custom Shop's intentional relic treatment. The guitar was Born On August 16th, 2021, as documented on its original Fender Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity.

The modifications were thoughtfully executed to emulate the legendary Steve Lukather's modern Strat-style setup, combining the versatility of an HSS configuration with the performance of a Vigier Locking Tremolo and EMG pickups.

Now, let's address the vintage purists who are currently clutching their pearls.

YES, THE ORIGINAL PARTS ARE INCLUDED!

The original tortoise shell pickguard still has its original pickups and electronics installed, just as shown in the photographs. The original bridge and other replaced components are included as well.

Will the next owner actually want to put everything back to factory specifications? Probably not! Anyone buying this guitar is likely doing so because they LOVE the upgrades. But should that day ever arrive, the original components are waiting patiently for their reunion.

Also included are the original Fender Custom Shop hardshell case, case candy, Fender leather guitar strap, and original leather portfolio containing the Certificate of Authenticity and Fender Custom Shop Floor Traveler detailing its factory specifications.

This is one seriously cool instrument with a rare finish, premium roasted woods, an incredibly comfortable Modern C-to-D neck, and a modernized electronics and tremolo setup that makes it far more than just another pretty Strat.

It's got the looks of a 1967 road warrior, the attitude of an '80s arena rocker, and enough personality to make your other guitars start updating their résumés!
