The Story

'60s Mahogany Stratocaster Heavy Relic Dakota Red

Here we have a Fender Custom Shop '60s Strat which we've tweaked out to feature a mahogany body paired with a roasted maple neck and round-lam rosewood fretboard. The finish is a relic'd Thin Skin lacquer Dakota Red which looks killer next to the multi-ply black pickguard. The fretboard radius is a vintage-accurate 7.25" with smaller profile vintage frets. There's a trio of handwound '62/63 pickups onboard for classic '60s Strat quack and chime that sound nicely boosted up in midrange thanks to the mahogany body.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Tremolo Arm, Case Candy and Paperwork
