Fender Custom Shop 59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic RW, Black Overview
The Fender Custom Shop 59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic is built for performances that are both beautiful and fierce. As its wonderfully worn, Heavy Relic aesthetic suggests, this instrument has some obscene, vintage sonic capabilities, and they soar in crystal-clear fashion from humbucker/single-coil pickups. Delve into glorious, singing highs and strong, aggressive overtones, you'll be whisked away to the era that defined rock 'n' roll.
Smooth, sublime playing is offered by this gem of an instrument. Slide seamlessly down the rosewood fretboard whilst the '60s style oval "C"-shaped neck sits comfortably on your palm, feel the sleek playability that comes with the iconic Strat shape, and mesmerise your audience in seconds. It's inevitable when you're holding this retro-inspired guitar. A tremolo bridge then allows you to add another shimmering dimension to your sound, taking it to new heights. Everything you need for a magical performance is ready and waiting for you.

There's no greater finish than that of a Heavy Relic. Authentic, vintage, and undeniably stunning, it is sure to whisk you away into a world of pure '50s greatness. It looks the part. Crafted from alder, the body thrives with blues and rock styles, which makes sense as you'll want to delve into rock 'n' roll in all its glory. A '60s-style oval "C" neck then provides another flashback to the era of ground-breaking guitars, so you can relish a true playing experience.
Exceptionally smooth playability
A guitar that calls out to you… The '59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic is sensational to play. As the maple neck sits comfortably in your hand, a ravishing rosewood fretboard - adorned with 21 medium jumbo frets - will allow for smooth and seamless fretting. This means you can focus on the things that matter most - your jaw-dropping playing and blinding performance.
Diamond-quality, vintage tones
...they're at your control. Thanks to a Seymour Duncan SH-4B Jeff Beck humbucker, this striking Strat delivers all the sonic qualities that rock and blues players dream of. It's the ultimate vintage sound. Let those trebles sing with clear articulation, let your chords shine with glorious sustain, and let every note intoxicate your audience. Even with extreme distortion, you can count on that authentic Fender tone to remain strong and intact. And thanks to the Strat Fat '50s Relic pickup, you'll have even more gorgeous vintage qualities uplifting your tone, granting you the fuel you need to pierce through the mix with all that famed Strat snap and bite.
Protection included
Your prized instrument needs maximum security. That's why Fender have equipped the '59 Stratocaster Heavy Relic with a hardshell case, giving you extra peace of mind on the road. Travel to and from the studio or set off on tour with the knowledge that your guitar will remain in pristine condition. No scratching, no scraping, and no stress. This Heavy Relic won't look any more worn than it should, it's perfect and will stay that way.
