Fender Custom Shop '58 Stratocaster Heavy Relic – HLE Gold Masterbuilt-Level Finish

Up for grabs is a jaw-dropping Fender Custom Shop 1958 Stratocaster Heavy Relic in the iconic and ultra-rare HLE Gold finish. This guitar is in excellent playing condition, professionally set up with buttery-low action and flawless playability from the first fret to the last. The heavy relic treatment is masterfully executed—deep checking, authentic arm wear, and just the right amount of “road-worn” mojo without ever feeling overdone.

Key Features:

• Stunning HLE Gold nitrocellulose lacquer with full Heavy Relic aging
• Hand-wound Fat ‘50s pickups delivering that classic, bell-like Strat sparkle with vintage output and warmth
• Premium AA flame quartersawn maple neck, 9.5" radius, smooth and fast with a comfortable ‘58 soft “V” profile
• Pro setup with fresh strings and perfect intonation—ready to gig or record straight out of the case

Included with the guitar: original hardshell case, all case candy, Certificate of Authenticity, every tag from the Custom Shop, and the original floor sheet. Please see photo of floor sheet for full specs straight from the Fender Custom Shop.

This is the kind of Strat that turns heads the moment it’s unlatched—photogenic, toneful, and dripping with vintage vibe. The HLE Gold over heavy relic is one of the most sought-after combinations Fender has ever released, and examples in this condition rarely hit the market.

Priced to move, but serious offers only. Don’t sleep on this one—it won’t last long.

Make us an offer—we’re motivated to find it a new home!
