This is a beautiful and great-playing 2006 Fender Custom Shop ’60 Stratocaster Relic in classic Fiesta Red finish. This one has all the mojo you’d expect from an early Custom Shop build — tasteful aging, authentic vintage feel, and killer tone.

Built October 10, 2006 (see included Certificate of Authenticity), serial number R31799. The relic work is very tastefully done — checking, edge wear, and natural patina on the hardware. The finish has that perfect soft glow that only aged nitro can give.

The neck feels fantastic: a comfortable mid-’60s “C” profile with a dark rosewood slab board, clay dots, and vintage frets. The pickups are classic Fender Custom Shop single coils — chimey, balanced, and articulate. Every position on the switch sounds sweet.

This Strat plays and sounds incredible — everything you’d want from a Custom Shop vintage reissue. It’s been well cared, shows the intended factory relic wear and some extra from regular use, this guitar was played, not stored and forgotten. No issues, no mods.

All the candy comes with it.
