Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition 60 Dual-Mag II Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic Rosewood Fingerboard Electric Guitar Aged Sea Foam Green
Description
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '60 Dual-Mag II Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic brings you all the magic of a well-worn vintage instrument straight out of the case. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to recreate the look, feel and iconic tones of a road-worn '60s Strat that's been broken in over decades of playing. From the relic lacquer finish to the custom pickups and period-correct construction, this guitar transports you back to the golden age while providing modern playability.
Relic Finish With Authentic Aging
The first thing that catches your eye is the super heavy relic lacquer finish with an aged seafoam green patina. Fender's team has painstakingly recreated the fine dings, buckle wear, discoloration and rugged character you'd expect from 60 years of active use. The antiqued nickel/chrome hardware carries on this vintage-worn aesthetic. Even the 3-ply mint green pickguard shows realistic signs of age and playwear. This guitar's every last detail oozes hard-earned road-worn mojo right out of the deluxe hardshell case.
Roasted Quartersawn Maple Neck With '60s Oval C Profile
The foundation of this Stratocaster's vintage-inspired vibe and playability is its premium roasted quartersawn maple neck. The roasting process removes excess moisture and adds stability. Meanwhile, the quartersawn grain pattern creates an incredibly stiff yet resonant neck with a smooth satin finish. The '60s oval C profile combines sublime playing comfort with just enough shoulder to bend strings against. Every detail from the bone nut to the vintage-style heel truss rod adjustment exudes classic Fender craftsmanship.
AAA Rosewood Fingerboard With Vintage-Tall Frets
Anchoring the smooth, playable neck is a flat-laminate AAA rosewood fingerboard with vintage-tall frets. The tall yet narrow fret wire allows for effortless bending with perfect intonation. Micarta white dot inlays and side dots provide classic reference points, while the 7.25" radius enhances the broken-in feel. With the premium rosewood's balanced tone and sustain, you'll feel inspired to blaze through leads and chord work all night long on this fingerboard.
Vintage-Inspired Tones From Dual-Mag II Pickups
Plugged in, the Fender Custom Shop '60 Dual-Mag II Strat rewards you with harmonically rich, bell-like tones that transport you to a simpler era. The trio of hand-wound Dual-Mag II pickups were specially created to emulate the warmth and character of vintage-spec pickups from the '60s. You'll love the clear, singing lead tones from the neck pickup and the bright, twangy quack from the bridge. The reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup serves up funky, scooped tones in between. With the 1/2 blend circuit, you can dial in anything from crystalline single-coil spank to thick, humbucker-like chime.
