Relic Finish Shows Natural Wear and Tear of Years of Heavy use, Nicks, Scratches, Worn Finish, Rusty Hardware and Aged Plastic Parts.
Only 50 available in each color for 2009.
Not to be confused with the 2009 Custom Collection 1956 Stratocaster (Time Machine Series).
FENDER SAYS
By 1956, the still-young Stratocaster was really starting to come into its own; we've built only so of each color for the Custom Shop limited collection. Features include a premium alder body, a one-piece large u-shaped maple neck with 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard and 6105 frets, three custom-designed pickups, five-way switching, and a single-ply parchment pickguard.
The guitar comes in our relic finish - showing years of natural wear and tear-nicks, scratches, worn finish and aged parts. Looks, feels and plays like it has take the punishment of many long nightclub hours.
