Introducing: Your Dream Instrument from Fender
Every info for your decision
As early as 1950, Fender began developing the new guitar, which was later christened the Stratocaster. After consulting with a number of well-known guitarists, including western swing musician Bill Carson and entertainer Rex Galleon, for whom Leo Fender was to build the perfect guitar, the design for the Stratocaster began to take shape. It was to have three pickups, a more comfortable, ergonomically shaped body and a completely new feature: the vibrato.
In 1954, the Fender Stratocaster finally came onto the market. The instrument looked like no guitar before it: the body appeared curvier and more flowing than that of the Telecaster and was intended to increase playing comfort, the new headstock was somewhat reminiscent of the old Bigsby headstocks, the jack socket was elegantly recessed into the side of the body instead of on the top and the Strat was equipped with three single-coil pickups.
The Fender Custom Shop has set itself the task of studying the high-quality vintage Stratocasters of yesteryear and reproducing them down to the smallest detail. Here we have a very special Custom Shop one-off for you, modelled on a Stratocaster from the 1950s:
The Fender Custom Shop 1958 Stratocaster Heavy Relic FACAR is a classic ST-style electric guitar with a two-piece ash body. Ash wood was already used in the original Stratocaster guitars and provides the basis for the perfect vintage sound. The body wood was selected by hand to ensure a particularly light weight and thus improve playing comfort. The aged maple neck with maple fingerboard features a 58 Style Soft "V" profile and a fingerboard radius of 9,5", which offers the perfect compromise between vintage feel and modern comfort. The guitar is equipped with a classic S-S-S pickup combination of three Fender Custom Shop Handwound Fat 50s Strat single coils. Other features include Fender Vintage Style Tuner, Parchment Soft-Touch Knobs, a Fender 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo Bridge and a single-ply white pickguard.
This model is finished in a classic Super Faded Aged Candy Apple Red. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish ensures that the wood can vibrate particularly well and that the lacquer finish ages more beautifully. The most extreme of Fender's Relic levels, Heavy Relic evokes the spirit of the most tried and worn Fender instruments in history. If you want a guitar that looks like it hasn't left your side since the dawn of rock ‘n’ roll, this is the right finish for you.
The Fender Custom Shop 1958 Stratocaster Heavy Relic FACAR comes with a certificate of authenticity in a luxurious original Fender Custom Shop Tweed case with red interior, allowing you to safely transport your new dream guitar and protect it from external influences.
