COMMENTS
Sweeter-sounding than its spicy cousin, but still packing authentic Fender tonal flavor, the Limited Edition Tomatillo Stratocaster III Relic is hiding a few special ingredients inside. The trio of Hand-Wound Tomatillo single-coil Stratocaster pickups is crafted using alnico 2 magnets, reproducing what aged, original-era alnico 5 magnets might sound like today. The pickup set includes a RWRP middle pickup to reduce hum, and are tied together with Strat ½ Blender wiring, which lets you blend the neck pickup in to taste when in position one - bridge pickup only - unlocking sweeter, more flavorful tone. The two-piece body is crafted from alder that was selected for weight and grain. The neck sports a 11/56 Off-Center “V”-shaped profile that’s comfortable for almost any playing style while the maple fingerboard sports a 7.25”- 9.5”compound radius and 6105 frets.
