This Fender Custom Shop Time Machine 1960 Stratocaster Heavy Relic is a unique instrument bearing serial number CZ578789. Built in the USA, this exceptional Custom Shop model faithfully recreates the look, feel, and tone of an early-1960s Stratocaster while incorporating subtle modern refinements for enhanced playability. Finished in Dirty Faded Aged 3-Color Sunburst with an authentic Heavy Relic nitrocellulose treatment, it captures decades of natural wear with remarkable realism. The guitar weighs just 3.54 kg (without case).
The two-piece alder body delivers the classic balanced Stratocaster voice, while the quarter-sawn maple neck features a comfortable 60s Oval "C" profile for a vintage-inspired playing experience. A premium AAA flat-lam rosewood fingerboard with a modern 9.5" radius and 21 jumbo 6100 frets combines authentic feel with effortless bends and smooth playability across the entire neck.
Loaded with a trio of hand-wound Fender Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil pickups, this Stratocaster produces powerful vintage-inspired tones with enhanced output, rich midrange, sparkling highs, and unmistakable Fender character. Vintage Modern Wiring #2 provides versatile tonal control, while the Fender Custom Shop vintage-style synchronized tremolo and vintage tuners ensure dependable performance. Completing this collector-grade instrument are the original Fender Custom Shop brown hardshell case with yellow interior, matching strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
