Fender Custom Shop '63 Stratocaster Heavy Relic HSS Electric Guitar - Blue/Silver

Fender '63 Stratocaster Heavy Relic HSS Electric Guitar - Blue/Silver

The Fender Custom Shop '63 Stratocaster Heavy Relic HSS Electric in Blue/Silver is a guitar that pays homage to a golden era of tone and style. Modeled on a 1960s Stratocaster, this guitar is expertly crafted with a GTR and Bass Alder body and finished in a captivating Blue Agave over Silver Sparkle lacquer. The heavy relic treatment gives it a beautifully worn-in look, like it’s been your go-to for decades, complete with authentic aging that enhances its vintage appeal.

Under the hood, the '63 Stratocaster is loaded with a unique HSS pickup configuration: Hand-Wound Poblano Strat pickups in the neck and middle positions deliver rich, fiery single-coil tones, while a Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker at the bridge brings powerful output and depth, perfect for versatile players who want the best of both worlds. The 5-way CRL switch allows you to explore a full tonal palette, from classic Strat chime to thicker, high-gain humbucking punch.

Designed for comfortable playability, the guitar features a 60s Oval "C" shaped neck, a standard fretboard blank nut, 21 frets, and a nut width of 1.65". Chrome/nickel-plated hardware completes the look, while the Custom Shop's careful craftsmanship ensures each note rings with clarity and sustain. Protected in a classic brown FCS Strat/Tele case, this Stratocaster is more than a guitar—it’s a piece of history, ready to take the stage and inspire.
