This Fender Custom Shop 1965 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic delivers the feel, look, and tone of a guitar that has lived a lifetime on stage. Part of the Time Machine series, this instrument was crafted in the Fender Custom Shop to capture the magic of a well-worn vintage Strat — complete with an ultra-aged finish, distressed hardware, and authentic hand-wound pickups. From its first glance, it looks like a road warrior; from its first note, it feels like an old friend.
A lightweight 2-piece select alder body provides resonant tone, while the maple neck with a 1965 “C” profile and 3A rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth playability. Narrow tall frets, a 9.5” radius, and modern wiring give it contemporary versatility while retaining classic Strat character. The Custom Shop Hand-Wound ’65 pickups deliver all the sparkle, chime, and bite you’d expect from an authentic mid-’60s Stratocaster.
Every detail — from the bone nut to the aged white plastics, synchronized tremolo, and period-correct string tree — shows the painstaking craftsmanship that went into recreating a guitar that looks like it has decades of stories to tell. Complete with a deluxe hardshell case and certificate of authenticity, this is a Strat built for players who want history in their hands. Perfect for seasoned pros looking to tap into legendary sound and style, or collectors itching to add a true beauty to their collection, this custom Strat is available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
