Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster Limited Edition 1957 Heavy Relic at a Glance:
- Ancho Poblano pickups pack a punch
- Classic Strat design with Heavy Relic finish
- Quartersawn neck for long-term reliability
Ancho Poblano pickups pack a punch
The kick in this Stratocaster electric guitar comes from the hand-wound Ancho Poblano pickups. These Custom Shop designs are specially engineered to offer you spicy expressive tones that get progressively hotter from neck to bridge pickup. The middle and neck pickups are optimized across the strings to enhance your solo work, while the flat-pole bridge pickup is fashioned for punch, making your guitar work your amp hard. And Fender has curbed these pickups’ microphonics and preserved their open-yet-focused tone by potting them in their own secret Custom Shop sauce.
Classic Strat design with Heavy Relic finish
The Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster Limited Edition 1957 Heavy Relic is a classic Strat all the way through. The alder body even sports a color-over-color paint job and nitro finish, for the look of a vintage guitar that’s been repainted once or twice. The custom neck is AA figured maple, tinted for a well-aged look. Many guitar collectors like the Heavy Relic look, but even more players get these guitars because they feel so comfortable and broken-in.
Quartersawn neck for long-term reliability
The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why the Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster Limited Edition 1957 Heavy Relic features a quartersawn maple neck. Besides looking good, the straight grain of quartersawn necks is about 50% more stable than plain-sawn necks, and less likely to warp, twist, or shrink.
