A tasteful suit of Heavy Relic dents, dings, and scratches rounds it all out, ensuring that the Limited-edition 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic feels like an old friend from your very first strum.Traverse three of the Strat's distinct tonal eras Far from your typical Custom Shop Strat setup, the Limited-edition 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic comes equipped with three unique single-coils from throughout Fender’s history. It all starts off with a period-correct 1969 Stratocaster pickup in the neck position, supplying a lush, mellow response that’s perfectly suited towards soulful cleans and smoky blues leads. The RWRP Fat ’50s pickup takes your tone about two decades back in time — an era when the Strat featured a brighter, more cutting tone. However, as a “Fat” take on original 1950s Stratocaster pickups, this single-coil offers enhanced output and a fuller bottom-end. Finally, the Limited-edition 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic’s more modern-sounding bridge-position Custom Shop Hand-wound Texas Special Stratocaster ties it all together with a screaming overwound Texas blues bite.Substantial 1969 “U” neck profile The Fender Limited-edition 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic’s 1969 “U” profile maple neck is a perfect fit for any guitarist seeking a somewhat robust, grip-filling neck shape. It’s quite a bit fatter than your typical Fender “C” shape, but Sweetwater guitarists find it equally nimble, especially for players with larger hands or those who favor a chunky feel. It’s topped with 21 narrow-tall frets in a 9.5-inch radius — a common spec swap for vintage-style Fender guitars that’s particularly suited to bend-heavy styles.Aged to perfection The most extreme aging that the Fender Custom Shop typically offers is their Heavy Relic package — an aesthetic tribute to the world’s battle-scarred 6-strings, with all the dents, dings, and scratches to reflect a lifetime of music making. From the all-too-common missing patch of finish where your forearm rests to the rubbed-through finish on the back of the neck, Fender Custom Shop Heavy Relic instruments are perfect for the player who requires a perfectly worn-in feel from day one. Plus, since the Fender Custom Shop’s instruments are finished in a period-correct nitrocellulose lacquer, guitars such as the Fender Limited-edition 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic will only continue to age and develop character the more time you spend with them.Fender Limited-edition 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Electric Guitar Features: Premium 2-piece select alder body provides a midrange-rich response with a lightweight feel 1-piece quarter-sawn maple neck in a full-feeling 1969 “U” profile 9.5-inch-radius maple fingerboard and narrow-tall frets supply a modern-feeling foundation that’s purpose-built for comfortable chording and clean, buzz-free bends Idiosyncratic pickup combo that pulls from throughout Fender’s history, including a Custom Shop Hand-wound Texas Special in the bridge, a middle-position RWRP Fat ’50s Stratocaster pickup, and a period-correct 1969 Stratocaster neck pickup Vintage-style tuning machines and a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo offer super tuning stability with lively tremolo usage Battle-scarred Heavy Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish for an aged-in feel from first strum SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Solidbody Body Shape Stratocaster Body Material 2-piece Select Alder Color Aged Vintage White Body Finish Heavy Relic Lacquer Neck Material 1-piece Quartersawn Maple Neck Shape 1969 U Neck Joint Bolt-on Radius 9.5" Fingerboard Material Maple Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 21, Narrow Tall (6105) Scale Length 25.5" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece Fender Custom Shop Vintage Synchronized Tremolo Tuners Vintage-Style Neck Pickup Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special Strat Single-coil Middle Pickup Fender RWRP Fat -50s Strat Single-coil Bridge Pickup Fender '69 Strat Single-coil Controls 1 x volume, 2 x tone Switching 5-way blade pickup switch Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
