Celebrating 20 years of “The Relic Process”
The year 1995 was a landmark in the history of the Fender Custom Shop – It was the year Fender introduced the world to Relic guitars at The NAMM Show. Displayed in two glass cases with no fanfare, the ’51 Nocaster and ’56 Mary Kaye Stratocaster blindsided dealers who were awestruck by what they believed were original vintage models displayed in tribute to the company’s roots. Little did they know, these two instruments were actually “new pairs of old shoes” - offering the authentic “broken-in” feel, mojo, vibe, and coolness of the original ’50s models without requiring decades of use.
Ingeniously relic’d by the Fender Custom Shop and limited to a run of only 95 units (as a tribute to the year they were originally released), the Custom Shop 20th Anniversary Relic Stratocaster honors the evolution of relic’ing and the Custom Shop’s mastery or the art. The 1995 NAMM Show originals recreated a vintage Fender guitar that has not only seen history, but also made history. From the birth of rock ‘n’ roll to the unleashing of the popular Relic guitars, Fender has been there for the momentous events that defined guitar culture.
This particular instrument is outstanding! It’s exceptionally light (only 6.9 lbs!), lively and resonant. Just a true joy to play. Plug it into an amp and things only get better. Lush, rich and succulent tone ooze from every setting thanks to a setup of Custom Shop Hand Wound Fat 50s pickups. It feels and plays great too, courtesy of the quartersawn Maple neck carved to a comfortable 10/56 Soft V profile with a 9.5” radius and 6105 frets. A Vintage Blonde “Mary Kay” finish with Gold Hardware, distressed enough to feel “well-worn” without being over the top completes the vintage look and vibe of this beast.
Like all our used/vintage gear this has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get, including the original hard case and certificate. No serious issues, damage or repairs. All wear and tear is “stock” Fender relic’ing as it came from the factory.
