Stratocaster Ltd 1961 Heavy Relic 3 Colour Sunburst #CZ559972
October 2022 Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Stratocaster '61 Heavy Relic in 3 Tone Sunburst with Roasted Neck. A very nice, well spec'd '61 Strat. Roasted Quatersawn Maple Neck with 60 Style Oval 'C' neck profile, lovely AAA Dark Slab Rosewood board 9.5" radius and 6100 Jumbo Frets. Loaded with 3 Handwound Fat 60's pickups with the middle one RWRP for no hum in positions 2 and 4. It sounds excellent to us, the roasted neck helping with great clarity as do the Handwound pickups. The Heavy Relic finish looks cool and the back of the neck is very well done too with a beautiful smooth feel. An awesome, good sounding, great playing, cool looking guitar with the tortoise shell pickguard and classic colour, very Stevie Ray.. In unused condition with Original brown Tolex case and all Tags, Cert and strap etc.
