The Fender Custom Shop 2022 Time Machine '58 Strat Relic is a highlight from the '22 Spring Favourites collection. Featuring a meticulously applied Relic finish and a Faded Aged paint job, it resembles a classic Fender that's seen many a stage - the kind of ultra rare find that collectors and enthusiasts long for! But this isn't any old Stratocaster - the Custom Shop include modern upgrades like a 9.5" fretboard with 21 Narrow Tall fret wires and modern pickup wiring to enhance the overall playability and tones you can produce. Speaking of the sounds, they're brought by hand-wound Fat '50s single coils that boast thick and juicy tones - packed to the brim with clarity and responsive dynamics. They're mated to a modern 5-way selector, you can extract every kind of tone for every situation - with RWRP middle position for hum cancelling on 2 and 4. Even better, the #2 Wiring with Tone-Saver Bleed circuit means you can roll off volume without sacrificing treble clarity. And like you'd expect from a top-of-the-line Fender, the rest of the appointments are pure premium: Bone nut, Custom Shop Synchronised Tremolo, and vintage-style tuning machines complete a guitar that would be the jewel in any guitarists' collection.
The sound and feel of 1968
