Fender Custom Shop 1954 Stratocaster Heavy Relic in Wide-Fade 2-tone Sunburst

Leo Fender had a knack for getting it right the first time. And the Stratocaster was no exception. Since it was released in 1954, the Strat has been synonymous with electric guitar, recognized the world over by players and non-players alike. And today, you can only get true '54 specs from the Custom Shop every 10 years on the anniversary of those first legendary instruments. 

This particular Anniversary model has all the mojo you'd expect, with a few modern comforts thrown in. Features like the compound radius and the medium vintage frets make this thing play as good as it looks and sounds. The HW 54 pickups can go from Buddy Holly to Eric Johnson, and everything in between. The wide fade two tone sunburst finish is classic and the heavy relic makes it feel like an old friend. Come give it a spin in person or give us a call with any questions.
