This Custom Shop Stratocaster is packed with surprising features. Let's begin with the lightweight sorted alder wood and a stunning AA flamed maple neck. Lacquer on this one got to Fender Color Wall in 2015, it's a thin nitro coating in Faded Burgundy Mist.
The relic job is done by Fender master builder - Paul Waller and is a tasty example of a gentle relic job that really reminds a vintage instrument.
Hardware is classic yet robust vintage keys and 6-point bridge, single-ply pickguard loaded with 3 1959 singles hand-wound by one and only Josefina Campos. Has a bell sound and a bite, a classic one!

Stunning tone on the video by the way - what are you playing through?
Thank you! The recording was done via Line 6 Helix with AC30 simulation I believe
Listening to the variety of tones in that makes me wonder why I need anything more than a Strat really....wonderful stuff.
Great guitar. GLWTS.
Nevertheless it's a great sounding strat, that's what it is
