2024 Fender Custom Shop 1957 Super Heavy Relic Stratocaster

This 2024 Fender Custom Shop 1957 Super Heavy Relic Stratocaster comes straight out of 1957, featuring a 2-piece select alder body and a stable 1-piece rift-sawn maple neck in a chunky 1957 Soft V profile. Designed to please the modern player, a 9.5-inch radius supplies a smooth, buzz-free travel across the narrow-tall frets when performing wide bends on the upper frets. Custom Shop Hand-wound single-coil pickups precisely replicate the spank and chime of an aged alnico V Strat pickup set from the 1950s. With  superlative hardware, including  a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo and vintage-style slot-in tuners the details truly turn up the heat on a golden-age Fullerton classic.
