Fender Custom Shop ’56 Reissue Stratocaster Relic Aged Vintage White 2013. Excellent Used Condition 9/10.

Weight: 7.4lbs

The ageing attention to detail on this one is fantastic. A really nice vibe to it and is without a doubt one of the nicer playing and sounding Strats we’ve had in. The woods selected for this creation are definitely a step above the regular custom shop stuff and it really does “ring like a bell”. The two piece Ash body is finished in a truly authentic aged vintage white nitrocellulose finish with plenty of natural wear and checking. It feels and plays beautifully, not to mention its exquisite looks with the aged gold hardware!

The patina is really well executed and is nice and lightweight at 7.4lbs. Its ’56 contoured ash body and maple neck have that lovely “played in” feel and that signature Strat chime we’ve heard on countless records, effortlessly covering all genres. The 56 “V” neck profile is super comfortable and very easy to play. The guitar is very resonant and has fantastic response across the board thanks to the excellent tonewood combination and hand-wound Fat 50’s pickups. A real delight to play as you would expect.
