The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '57 Stratocaster Relic in Aged Tahitian Coral captures the feel and character of a vintage Strat with a few carefully chosen features that make it an especially impressive instrument. At Sims Music, we love seeing unique Fender Custom Shop builds come through our Select Room, and this one immediately stands out with its beautiful Aged Tahitian Coral finish and authentic Relic treatment. The off-center two-piece alder body provides the familiar balance and resonance of a classic Stratocaster, while the rift-sawn maple neck features a comfortable '57-style Soft V profile and medium-tint nitrocellulose finish. With a 9.5" fingerboard radius and 21 narrow-tall 6105 frets, this guitar offers a great combination of vintage feel and modern playability, making everything from expressive bends to comfortable rhythm playing feel natural.

What makes this particular Strat especially interesting is its carefully selected combination of three different Fender Custom Shop hand-wound pickups. A '57 Strat pickup in the neck delivers warm, glassy cleans, while the reverse-wound, reverse-polarity Fat '50s middle pickup adds classic Strat sparkle and character. In the bridge position, a Texas Special provides extra bite, punch, and midrange presence for bluesy leads and driving rock tones. The Custom Shop vintage-style tremolo and aged Fender-logo tuners complete the vintage-inspired package, giving this guitar the look and feel of an instrument that's been played and loved for decades. It's a fantastic example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that make Fender Custom Shop guitars so special. Like every new guitar at Sims Music, this Stratocaster receives a complete professional setup from our team before shipping, so it's ready to play when it arrives.
