This Fender Custom Shop 1965 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic captures the look, feel, and sound of a well-loved vintage Strat that’s been played for decades. Finished in a striking Super Faded Aged Tahitian Coral over 3-Color Sunburst, this guitar shows off extreme relic treatment — checking, worn edges, and hardware aging — giving it the vibe of a road warrior with years of stories behind it.

Tonally, this Strat delivers classic mid-60s sparkle and warmth thanks to a trio of Custom Shop Hand-Wound '65 single-coil pickups. They provide the chime and articulation Strat players crave, with just the right amount of bite for rock, blues, and surf, while staying clear and dynamic for funk or clean rhythm work. The lightweight 2-piece select alder body adds resonance and balance, and the comfortable 1965 "C"-shaped maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard makes it a joy to play whether you’re comping chords or bending leads.

This guitar is perfectly suited for players chasing authentic vintage Strat tone in a package built for modern reliability. It excels on stage or in the studio for genres ranging from blues and classic rock to alternative and indie, offering both versatility and unmistakable character. This custom Strat comes with a hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity, and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
