Fender Stratocaster ‘55 Heavy Relic by Jason Smith (Fender Custom Shop 2023)
Dream Strat from the pinnacle of Fender's original golden era on sale.
Handwound pickups sound otherworldly and super fat.
Jason Smith is the son of Fender's Marketing Director in the 80s Dan Smith who had helped to usher in the era of Fender Custom Shop. Jason apprenticed with the original founder of the CS Johnny English before becoming a Custom Shop veteran in his own right.
He has built guitars for M. Landau, Chili Peppers' Flea or Linkin Park, to name just a few.
A serious guitar even by CS standards, handpicked out of a long line of high-end vintage Strats on offer for its amazing neck and looks.
The precision neck, powerful pickups and classic look with a few extra touches are strong selling points here.
You can put your own finishing touch on by picking between vintage white/new black Fender covers, both included as well as CS leather strap.
