2022 Fender Custom Shop 1957 Stratocaster - Relic - Aged Daphne Blue

Just in! Another stellar piece from the Fender Custom Shop! This '57 Strat Relic in Aged Daphne blue pays homage to the beginnings of the car/guitar culture crossover, as both automobiles and instruments were being offered in brighter, more vibrant colors.

Heavy relic'd to offer the look and feel of a 65 year old guitar that's seen every stadium and every dive, it will serve as an excellent workhorse- already broken in for its next owner! The soft V shape on the neck provides excellent balance for angular playing, but also fills the palm for sure-footed rhythm. The worn-off finish makes getting around easy, with a no-stick experience to let your most daring lines shine! A modern 9.5" radius offers smooth bends without whine or choking, and the frets are perfectly crowned and standing tall- like new!

Includes OHSC, COA and build sheet, bridge cover, and more!
