Fender Custom Shop '61 Stratocaster Heavy Relic, S-F Aged Sunburst #CZ573973 - Ex Demo Overview

View this description in Norwegian

The Fender Custom Shop '61 Strat Heavy Relic is a step back in time. Travel to the period when Leo Fender was still tinkering, tweaking, and perfecting the legendary Stratocaster design. As such, this remarkable '61 Strat comes from the last year of the round-lam or "slab" fretboards, giving you that true proto-Strat feel. And speaking of feel, this almighty guitar bears all the scars and marks of countless performances thanks to its Heavy Relic finish, and places a true veteran instrument into your hands.


And while there's plenty of period-correct, vintage appointments to assure you of its authenticity, this Strat boasts more sonic firepower than you might expect. Hosting a set of Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special pickups, you're getting a bespoke, snarling output that'll bring crunchy rock tones to life. Coming complete with a strap, Custom Shop certificate and a deluxe hardshell case, this grizzled guitar is ready for the stage once again...

Ex-Demo: This product may be ex-display, have light signs of use, have slight cosmetic marks or may have non-essential parts or software missing. The original box, packaging or manual may not be included. Each item is checked by our team of repair technicians to ensure it meets our high standards. This is a great opportunity to buy a fully functioning product at a discounted price.

A classic Strat with bite and bark

Don't hold back. You can let your fiercest blues riffs and rock 'n' roll licks loose on this Strat. Why? Because it's been fitted with some exceptional pickups. And those pickups are none other than the Custom Shop's Hand-Wound Texas Special single coils. Fiery and vocal, these hot output pickups consist of overwound Alnico 5 magnets to give you a focused tone and enhanced dynamics.

They've got plenty of sonic kick and punch for voicing your expressive playing, but don't be put off - they still retain that sought-after vintage character. Using enamel-coated magnet wire, Fender have drawn out those warm, classic tones. And even better, you'll enjoy a balanced response across all three positions thanks to the staggered pole piece design. Rich, twangy, full of that sparkling single coil appeal, yet with plenty of attitude under the hood, you'll love these powerful pickups.

Authentic feel

The Strat character that will bring a smile to your face. It just feels right. Showcasing a 1960 oval "C" shaped neck that's finished in the original nitrocellulose lacquer, you're rewarded with a true vintage vibe, in addition to a slick, swift playing action. And that only gets better with the sleek flat-lam rosewood fretboard. Just like guitars of the time, it's shaped in a 9.5" radius so that it's equally good for chording and solo work.

Hosting 21 narrow tall frets and vintage clay dot position inlays, the fretboard is packed with retro charm. In addition to the frets enabling precision playing, you'll be guided in style by those authentic position inlay dots.

Custom Shop appointments

Let loose with your playing. Equipped with a vintage style Custom Shop Synchronised tremolo bridge and a set of vintage tuners, you’re going to play to your best. That’s because these classic components will keep a strong hold on your strings, ensuring a stable performance that stays in tune! And that tremolo bridge will pave the way to all sorts of vibrato antics.

To cap it all off you get a dedicated hard case to keep your one-of-a-kind Custom Shop creation protected. It’ll give you piece of mind while taking this collectible to gigs or recording sessions, ensuring it stays in pristine (yet relic’d!) condition. Added to that is a certificate of authenticity, letting everyone know that your instrument is a genuine, bonafide Custom Shop.
