Fender Custom Shop 1956 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic in Aged India Ivory

This Super Heavy Relic'd tone machine might be one of the best feeling Strats in the shop! The first thing you notice after you pick it up is the 11/56 Off Center V neck profile. While the asymmetry of the V might not seem like an obvious choice for comfort, a few strums or licks may prove otherwise. It actually fits in the hand in a very comfortable way and makes for a sleek and ergonomic playing experience, even with thumb-over-the-top Jimi-esque techniques. 

We all love Aged India Ivory, especially when it's beat to hell, and the Custom Shop Hand Wound Fat 50's pickups have long been a shop favorite. If you're looking for a 50's strat that looks amazing, is insanely comfortable to play, and has fat vintage tone for days, this might be the one. Give us a call with any questions or stop by and try it out in person.
