but for those that want a bit more thickness, this is perfect.  It's just slightly larger, without being overbearing.  The 9.5”-radius dark Rosewood fingerboard with 6105 (Narrow Tall) frets allows for steady play up and down the neck without fretting out.  We also had the neck given a Heavy Relic treatment, to maximize the \"broken in\" feel that players love.  We do this on a lot of guitars and have found that not only do we love it, but so does nearly everyone that picks one up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand-wound 64 Strat pickups with Alnico 5 magnets, a vintage stagger and enamel wiring provide rich ’60s tone.   The middle pickup is reverse-wound, reverse polarity, to eliminate hum.  We also chose the Vintage Modified # 2 wiring setup.  This features a master volume, tone # 1 (neck \u0026amp; middle pickups), and tone # 2 (bridge) with treble bleed (for keeping mids and rolling off highs without adding bass).  This guitar sounds downright amazing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOther features include a Custom Shop vintage-style synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and mother of pearl dots.  It includes a very cool blonde Custom Shop case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCome to Truetone Music to check out this amazing Strat, or order here right now for it to be sent straight to your home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # CZ586710\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePart # 9231012582\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWeight: 7.4 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor:  Faded Aged 3-Tone Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: 2 Piece Select Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote:  Sort for Lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Roasted Quartersawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTint: Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote:  Heavy Relic Back of Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Round Lam AAA Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Sort for Dark Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDots: Mother of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 63 Strat Style \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: 6105 Narrow Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.650\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:  .810\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:  .970\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup:  Custom Shop Hand-Wound 64  Strat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound 64 Strat RWRP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup:  Custom Shop Hand-Wound 64 Strat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring:  Vintage Modified # 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Chrome\/Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: American Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck plate: Limited Edition Custom Shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase:  Custom Shop Deluxe Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42535961657587,"sku":"00FCS244","price":4750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img38790.jpg?v=1772847613"},{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-roasted-1960-stratocaster-relic-birdseye-maple-aged-surf-green","title":"Fender Custom Shop Roasted 1960 Stratocaster Relic Birdseye Maple Aged Surf Green","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition Roasted Relic 1960 Stratocaster with Birdseye Maple Neck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThere aren't many (if any) guitars that are as classic as an early 60's era Strat.  This one takes that platform to a different level with a variety of tweaks and upgrades.  The look, feel and sound have been nailed by the Fender Custom Shop on this amazing 1960 Strat.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightweight, roasted alder body was given a perfect Relic treatment over the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAged Surf Green\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003enitro lacquer finish, providing a true vintage vibe.  Where this guitar really really stands out is the neck - it's roasted AAA birdseye maple, topped with a slab AAA rosewood fretboard.  A midas coat was added to make the grain really pop out.  We haven't seen a birdseye neck like this in a long time - it's truly stunning.  A heavy relic treatment was given to the back of the neck, to make it feel \"worn in\".  The 60's Oval \"C\" neck shape is the most popular choice out of the Custom Shop, and is period correct, but with the modern preference of a 9.5\" radius and 6105 frets making it easy to play, especially when bending in the higher register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of sound and functionality, this Strat has it all.  Instead of the standard 60's pickups, we went with the Hand-wound Fat 60's.  They provide mellow vintage tones but with enough bite to cut through the mix with crisp articulation, and are over-wound for a hefty low-end punch.  Alnico 2 magnets, Formvar magnet wire, period-correct cloth wire, and a fiber bobbin keep it accurate to what you would expect in a vintage Strat, with a warm, sweet output.  The reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup eliminates hum for whisper-quiet performance.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Strat also features a special wiring setup, called the \"Postmodern Fat ‘50s Strat Hookup\".  This is achieved by connecting the tone pot to the output of the volume pot (middle lug) instead of the input.  Many late fifties guitars of all brands were wired this way, but it can be done with any guitar. On a Strat, the switch has to also be wired a little differently to make it work. This will have two major effects on the tone:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the overall tone gets stronger with more transparent bloom.  Second, the typical treble loss that occurs when rolling back the volume is much less, and both the volume and tone controls react more smoothly and more evenly, without the typical hot spots. As a side effect, it’s easier to clean up an overdriven amp by simply rolling back the volume on the guitar a bit. Many of the Fender Master Builders prefer this hook up.\u003cbr\u003eThough any tone control set up will work, for the Postmodern Fat ‘50s Hookup, Fender added a modified Greasebucket tone control for the bridge pickup. This allows  for gain and mid-range preservation when rolling off the highs.  This results in a very versatile Strat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther features include an anodized gold pickguard, period correct vintage tuners and bridge, and a limited edition neckplate.  It comes with a Custom Shop Deluxe Black case, strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've done a run of these \"Roasted Relic\" Strats, and this is one of the best to come in yet.  Come to Truetone Music to experience this amazing guitar today, or make it yours by ordering right here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial #\u003cspan\u003e CZ586295\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart # \u003cspan\u003e 9231009145\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.6 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Aged Surf Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Anodized Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Handwound Fat 60's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle Pickup: Handwound Fat 60's (RWRP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Handwound Fat 60's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Alder (Roasted), Sorted for Lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: AAA Birdseye Maple (Roasted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTint: Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Note: Midas coat to enhance grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Note: Heavy Relic back of neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 60 Oval \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: 6105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: AAA Rosewood - Slab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDots: Micarta White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.650\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:  .790\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:  .930\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Guide: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Vintage Synchronized Tremolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: Engraved Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Plate: Anodized Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: 5 Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: Postmodern Fat 50's Hookup\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Custom Shop Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43701046706419,"sku":"00FCS311","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img41243.jpg?v=1775604831"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/collections\/fcs-relic-finish-guitars.oembed","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
