Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar Arctic White Nitro (Partscaster) by Nate's Relic Guitars

Stand out in the crowd with this Relic Fender Stratocaster (Partscaster) electric guitar built by Nate's Relic Guitars. The beautiful Arctic White Nitro finish gives it that vintage look and feel of a road worn instrument. Fender Parts include the 1996 Fender MIM neck, 2018 Fender Player pickups and electronics (pots, switch and output jack), Fender neck plate with screws and Fender MIM pickguard. 22 frets are in great condition and have been leveled, crowned and polished to assure very smooth play. The rosewood fretboard had been conditioned and does have some wear, which does not effect the playability. Professional Luthier set up with new Ernie Ball 10-46 strings. Intonated and ready to gig. Built from new and used quality parts made to look old. Loaded with 2018 Fender Player Alnico pickups that deliver the legendary Srat tone (see link below to hear a similar guitar with these pickups). 7.8-8.5K pickup ratings. Fender Player Electronics include full size CTS 250k pots, Fender Capacitor, Oak Grigsby 3-way switch and added treble bleed circuit (Not Fender). See picture to view the electronics (treble bleed was added after the picture was taken). The added treble bleed circuit allows the volume to be turned down without losing tone. Equipped with a spring style tremolo bridge (small block) with vintage style saddles. The solid soft Maple body measures 1 5/8" thick. Body in finished in Nitro Lacquer. This is not a Fender body. The original Fender neck finish has been amber tinted and finished in Satin Nitro Lacquer. Total guitar weight is 5 lbs. 11 oz. This guitar is designed to be lightweight, perfect for the gigging musician who doesn't want an 8 lb. guitar hanging on their neck for 3 hours. If you do not like a lightweight guitars, than this is not for you. The lightweight body and smaller bridge block (see closeup picture of the bridge block) were specifically chosen for the weight. Most full size, larger bridge blocks will not fit this 1 5/8' deep body. The gorgeous 1996 Fender MIM maple slim/medium C profile neck measures 42.1mm wide at nut, 9.5" radius and 25 1/2" scale. Neck depth measures .82" at 1st fret and .87" at 12th fret. Features quality relic tuners that hold tune tightly. Many hours have gone into finishing this guitar with attention to detail including the relic hardware. Comes with plenty of dents, crazing, chips, cracks, blemishes wear and rust! Includes a lightweight gig bag. This is a custom made guitar, built with some Fender parts and finished in our USA (Georgia) Custom Guitar Shop. While this guitar was built in the USA, not all the parts were manufactured in the USA. Check us out on the web at Nate's Relic Guitars and read our feedback from customers who have bought one and sometimes two or three of our guitars. I build Relic Guitars for my living and have sold over 970 of them to happy customers. Since playing styles vary, you may have to make some adjustments to the guitar to suit your style, like adjusting the neck and bridge. If you like lower or higher action, it is very simple to adjust and we will be happy to assist you in adjusting the bridge saddles. Changes in temperature and humidity during shipment may occur and also cause the guitar to need adjustments. We do not give refunds for any costs associated with setups or adjustments made to the guitar. We ship to 50 US States only. We do not accept offers. Shipping cost and selling price are firm. -Thanks

Note: Since we stay busy just keeping stocked with our relic models, we do not do custom work, take orders or do relic jobs on customers' guitars.
