Description: The ’61 Strat Heavy Relic takes you back to a special time during the evolution of the venerable model when Leo Fender was constantly modifying, progressing, innovating and perfecting. 1961 was the final year of the round-lam or “slab” rosewood fingerboard, ushering in a new era of ’60s Strats along with many other changes and upgrades. On this model, a two-piece select alder body wears a well-worn Heavy Relic lacquer finish, and the quartersawn maple neck has a ’60s-style “oval C” profile, 9.5”-radius flat-lam rosewood fingerboard, and 21 Jumbo (6100) frets for classic feel and gigantic bends.Custom Shop hand-wound Texas Special™ pickups provide extra output and are hooked up to Vintage Modified #2 wiring with Tone-Saver bleed circuitry and five-way switching, all on a three-ply mint green pickguard. Other features include a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree with tall metal spacer. Also includes hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.Specs: Neck material: Quartersawn mapleNeck finish: Nitrocellulose lacquerNeck shape: 1960 oval "c"Fingerboard radius: 9.5" (241 mm)Fingerboard material: Flat-laminated rosewoodPosition inlays: Vintage clay dotSide dots: Vintage clayNumber of frets: 21String nut: BoneNut width: 1.650" (42 mm)Nut material: BoneBody: 2-piece select alderBody finish: LacquerBridge: Custom shop vintage synchronized tremoloPickguard: 3-ply mint greenControl knobs: Vintage whiteSwitch tip: Vintage whiteHardware finish: Nickel/chromeTuning machines: Vintage styleStrings: Nickel plated steel (.010-.046 gauges)Bridge pickup: Custom shop hand-wound texas special™ single-coil strat®Middle pickup: Custom shop hand-wound texas special™ single-coil strat®Neck pickup: Custom shop hand-wound texas special™ single-coil strat®Controls: Master volume, tone 1.
