Fender Custom Shop 1957 Relic Stratocaster

The Fender Custom Shop 1957 Relic Stratocaster recreates one of the most influential years in Stratocaster history, built with period-correct materials, deep body contours and an authentic Relic nitrocellulose finish. This 2-Tone Sunburst version features an alder body with the classic tonal character of late-’50s Fender instruments.

Authentic ’57 specifications

The quartersawn maple neck has a 1957 Soft V profile for a historically accurate feel. A 9.5" radius maple fingerboard with 21 narrow jumbo frets provides a blend of vintage style and modern playability.

Hand-wound Custom Shop pickups

Three Custom Shop hand-wound ’50s Stratocaster single-coils deliver clear, dynamic and expressive tones. The reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup reduces hum in positions 2 and 4. Modern five-way switching makes selecting classic Strat sounds straightforward.

Vintage-correct hardware

The guitar includes an American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo, vintage tuners and a single-ply parchment pickguard. A tweed hard-shell case with gold interior is included.
