2004 Fender 50th Anniversary Custom Shop Stratocaster Relic '60 Summer NAMM Limited Edition

EXCELLENT CONDITION - ALL ORIGINAL - KILLER SOUND

• 50th Anniversary '60 Relic Matching Headstock
• Only 50 piece run for Summer NAMM 2004

Here you make your deal. In order to celebrate the Strat's 50th Anniversary, Fender's Custom Shop had a very limited run of 3 versions of the Strat: a '56, '60 and '65. All of them beautifully relic'd and with a very unique Aztec Gold color. This one is the '60 version, the only one of the three with a matching headstock. Simply stunning and a very rare find!

A collector's guitar indeed, but also a GREAT sounding guitar, as you might expect. It has Custom 60's pickups that offer that era's agressive and warm sound (and not so "bell-like" as the 50's p'ups, for example).

The relic is top-grade work, not as "obvious" as other relic jobs we may find. The subtle but present checking around the whole body (and headstock!) is killer.

Aztec Gold is rarely used by Fender, usually limiting its use for commemorative editions like this one, or very sporadic masterbuilds. And this is the only relic'd Aztec Gold run in the history of Fender... ever!

The frets are in 90% of their life. Great playability with killer sound.
Ready to play!
