Fender Custom Shop '65 Stratocaster, Relic, Ice Blue Metallic Overview
Fender Custom Shop '65 Stratocaster, Relic, Ice Blue Metallic Overview by GAK
This nitrocellulose finished Ice Blue Metallic Strat has been given the classic Relic treatment, not a common custom colour by any means. The AAA Rosewood fingerboard has been given a more modern feel with 9.5" Radius and Medium Jumbo frets with a slightly larger '65 "C" Shape. Under the hood are some 60s pickups with a hand wound in the bridge, a modern 5-way, with bridge wired to tone and tone saver, so you won't loose your treble as you roll it back. The reverse wound / reverse polarity middle pickup makes this Strat hum-cancelling in the in-between positions. The 2 piece alder body is the perfect weight.
A Fender Custom Shop instrument is as good as it gets. You know it when you play one—it’s filled with intangible, electrifying elements that adds a new dimension to your playing experience. It’s as if the instrument itself is imbued with history, and is as close as it gets to an original build Fender from the Golden Era.
