The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Red Hot Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic electric guitar provides you with a vintage Strat experience like no other. This premium instrument features Custom Shop Hand-Wound Red Hot Strat single-coil pickups, a 2-Piece Select Ash body with a Super Heavy Relic lacquer finish and an AA Flame Maple neck and fingerboard. The Red Hot Strat wiring and pickguard provides innovative tonal options, allowing you to shape your tone to perfection.

Super Heavy Relic Finish

The Super Heavy Relic lacquer finish gives this Strat an aged look and feel that provides the ultimate vintage experience. The finish is carefully distressed to recreate decades of wear and tear, complete with dings, dents, scratches and rust. This heavy relic'ing allows the wood to resonate freely, producing a lively, open tone with singing sustain.

Premium AA Flame Maple Neck

The AA Flame Maple neck offers a smooth, comfortable profile that plays fast and feels familiar right out of the case. Its flame maple construction provides rigidity and stability, while the rolled edges give you a broken-in feel. The fingerboard is also made of AA Flame Maple, providing a slick playing surface for navigating the 21 narrow-tall frets.

Custom Shop Hand-Wound Pickups

The Custom Shop Hand-Wound Red Hot Strat pickups provide an authentic vintage Strat tone that is rich, warm and dynamic. These single-coil pickups capture the nuances of your playing style and technique. You'll be able to achieve chimey cleans, gritty overdrives and everything in between with these highly responsive pickups.

Vintage-style bridge, tuners and controls

A Custom Shop synchronized tremolo bridge provides expressive string bending effects. Vintage-style tuners are efficient and maintain tuning well during heavy tremolo use. Master Volume and Tone controls shape the pickups' output, allowing a range of tones from bright and crisp to warm and rounded. Their aged white knobs complete the vintage-inspired look.
