Fender Custom Shop 20th Anniversary Relic Stratocaster Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

• Celebrate Fender's introduction of the relic'd guitar
• Premium Custom Shop pickups deliver iconic Strat tone
• Quartersawn neck gives you ultra-stability and ultra-playability

Celebrate Fender's introduction of the relic'd guitar

It was in 1987 that Fender quietly released the first Custom Shop relic'd guitars at the Winter NAMM show. Since that time, relic'd instruments have become common place. The limited-edition Fender Custom Shop 20th Anniversary Relic Stratocaster sports a smooth-playing neck and a lightly relic'd ash body. A quartersawn maple neck has that comfortable "baseball bat" feel of some of the most sought after necks of the '50s era. You also get the tone and control that can only be achieved with Fender's American Vintage synchronized tremolo with bent-steel string saddles. Topped off with deluxe locking tuners, this guitar is a favorite. 

Premium Custom Shop pickups deliver iconic Strat tone

No matter how well you play, your tone lives and dies by the pickups in your axe. This Fender Custom Shop 20th Anniversary Relic Stratocaster sports three Custom Shop Fat '50s single-coil pickups, which are known far and wide for their classic Strat tone. These pickups deliver bright and clear cleans with the perfect amount of midrange with bite. When you plug your 20th Anniversary Relic Stratocaster into your favorite tube amplifier, you'll find everything from smooth mellow tones to outrageously aggressive leads, all within a casual twist of a volume knob.

Quartersawn neck gives you ultra-stability and ultra-playability

The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why this Fender Custom Shop 20th Anniversary Relic Stratocaster solidbody electric guitar features a quartersawn maple neck. Besides looking good, the straight grain of quartersawn necks, a favorite among guitarists, is about 50% more stable than plain-sawn necks, and less likely to warp, twist or shrink. You'll also love the playability and feel of this 20th Anniversary Relic Stratocaster's narrow jumbo frets and comfortable 9.5" radius.
