DISC Fender Custom Shop Late '64 Strat Relic, Aged Shoreline Gold

Full Description

A hand crafted Relic finish

Showcasing a stunning Relic lacquer finish, the Late '64 Custom Shop Strat is going to demand attention. Finished with precision and skill by the Master Builders at Fender, it boasts total authenticity and refinement, with every material selected for complete accuracy - down to the last screw!

Small paint chips adorn the outer body, while a larger sign of wear on the back shows where belt buckles have scratched away at it over the years of playing. Combined with the super-smooth neck that's resulted from decades of unrelenting riffing, and you've got a Strat that offers an instantly satisfying playing experience, with tonnes of vintage character.

The peak of playability

The moment you pick up the Limited Edition '64 Strat you'll feel at home. That's because this Limited-Edition Strat offers an approachable "C" shaped neck matched with a contemporary 9.5" radius fretboard. From thumb over styles, to expressive string bending solos, the Late '64 accommodates it all through its mix of vintage and current designs.

And while the fretting feels smooth and natural, you'll be able to play to your best in any situation thanks to the guitar's lightweight, agile feel. It's constructed from two pieces of a carefully matched Select Alder, specifically chosen for its grain and weight. Carved into the elegant Stratocaster contours and delivering a superb level of resonance and sustain, the Limited Edition '64 Strat lets your playing skills thrive, whether you're dancing around a stage, or sitting comfortably and letting the notes flow.

Unmistakable '60s sonics - upgraded

If you want genuine classic sounds, you're looking at the right instrument. Hosting a trio of Hand-Wound '64 single coil pickups, this Custom Shop Strat offers a full and rounded tonal character. One that's so accurate it's almost identical to the Fender guitars of old!

Constructed using correct processes and materials, and with a reverse wound middle pickup for hum-cancelling, these are an exact replica in tone, dynamics, and response to the originals.

But the Custom Shop have gone a step further and offers you enhanced control over your sonics through their additional Vintage Modified Wiring. This means you can roll back the volume but still maintain the detailed, nuanced trebles at lower output levels. The end result is total sonic versatility at your fingertips, one that you can spend countless hours exploring yet still unearth new tones to infuse your rhythms.

Utterly accurate hardware

Designed to bring out your creativity, this Custom Shop Late '64 Strat boasts the finest Fender appointments. Armed with a Custom Shop vintage synchronised tremolo you can inject dynamic vibrato and pitch bends into your performance, with a reliable sustain that never seems to end.

In addition to its sustain, the bridge serves up a precise intonation and stable tuning, especially when paired with vintage-style tuning machines. With a genuine bone nut mounted between them, you can expect clear and vocal string vibrations, delivering your notes in perfect clarity.

Hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity included

The Limited Edition Late '64 Strat is ready for the road. For an instrument that's born to perform, the Custom Shop have made sure it's totally protected with an included deluxe hardshell case.

This bespoke protection will keep your instrument in pristine condition whenever you're travelling, and the additional strap means you're equipped to rule the stage from the moment you pick it up. Rounded off with a Custom Shop certificate of authenticity, everyone will appreciate the Shoreline Gold Strat for what it is - a genuine, bonafide Custom Shop creation.
