Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2019 Fender Custom Shop 1956 Stratocaster Reissue Heavy Relic with a Nocaster Blonde Finish! The Fender Custom Shop 1956 Heavy Relic Stratocaster is as close to the genuine article as you can get without taking out a second mortgage. And the '56 Heavy Relic gives you the spank, sparkle, and vibe of the original - without costly visits to your luthier. This axe may look a half-century old, but it sports a supremely playable modern 9.5" radius and 6105 frets on its comfortable 10/56 large V-shaped neck. Topped off with superb-sounding Master Design pickups and modern 5-way switch wiring, the Fender Custom Shop 1956 Heavy Relic Stratocaster is a music time machine par excellence.
This Fender Custom Shop 1956 Heavy Relic Stratocaster boasts a tinted, one-piece quarter-sawn maple neck - a smart choice for tone-savvy guitarists. Quarter-sawn wood is much more rigid than flat-sawn wood, which means it vibrates better, which means more tone for you! And the lacquer finish, which is thinner than modern polyurethane finishes, will allow this '56 Strat's alder body to sing loud and clear.
The Fender Custom Shop's 1956 Heavy Relic Stratocaster is loaded with three Fender Custom Shop Master Design single-coil pickups that deliver all the legendary Strat spank, sparkle, chime and chunk of an original mid-'50s Stratocaster. So if authentic '50 Strat sound is your thing - the 1956 Heavy Relic Strat is the cost-effective way to get it.
The Fender Custom Shop's Relic treatment starts with a period-correct nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the day - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look authentically vintage - they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. Relic's guitars are then put through the aging process, and in the case of Heavy Relics, that's a lot of work to give you an axe that looks and feels like it's seen over four decades of front-line action. The process creates instruments that are spittin' images of the originals. Without sneaking a look at the neck heel stamps, you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish the Fender Custom Shop 1956 Heavy Relic Stratocaster from the real deal. This guitar is in unplayed shape, rated at 10/10. All original and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case, a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net and a complimentary Cooper Standard Fin guitar pick—our favorite for enhanced control and reduced movement!
