The 2018 Custom Limited Edition Roasted 1960 Strat Relic is finished in Aged Vintage White nitrocellulose lacquer. The 2-piece select alder body has received a Relic treatment that shows natural wear and tear of years of use, nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts.

It has a '60s Oval C shape, 12" radius fingerboard and 21 6100 jumbo frets that assure effortless playability and deep bends. Simmered in a secret Custom Shop sauce, the trio of Ancho Poblano pickups are individually calibrated from neck to bridge.
