Fender Custom Shop 1956 Stratocaster Heavy Relic in Aged Indian Ivory over 2-tone Sunburst

Aged Indian Ivory just gets us here at Casino Guitars. Whenever we see that rare and subtle color we just get a bit happier. And then when you pair it with a perfectly painted 2 tone sunburst underneath you might as well call the bank and let them know we are about to make a serious withdrawl!

With an 11/56 off center "V" carve this is also a unicorn of a piece. If you are looking for a lightly larger neck that offers nothing except for complete comfort and ease of playing then you have found her! This is the neck that some call the silver bullet of necks. Not known to many and held by even fewer, this neck is nothing short of awe inspiring when in your hands. 

The hand wound Fat 50's pickups are the number one pickup for the Fender Custom Shop for a reason. They really do capture the vintage tones that most want in a Stratocaster paired with a slightly modern push of a tad more bass and fullness. It is amazing how such a simple design as the magnets and wire in these pups can deliver tones from all over the spectrum.

Prepare to be impressed should be written upon this instrument as you ponder to make her one of your own. This mistress will not leave you disappointed and will be a constant joy every day as you learn more about her and honestly just why this neck carve is the bees knees!
