The Fender Custom Shop celebrates the 60th anniversary of the iconic Stratocaster with the 1954 Heavy Relic Stratocaster.

The one-piece premium Ash body features a heavily aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish in the classic 2-Color Sunburst. The Quartersawn Maple neck has a comfortable 1954 "U"-shaped profile, finished with a tinted lacquer. The Maple fingerboard offers smooth playability with a modern 9.5" radius and 6105 medium jumbo frets.

Equipped with three 1954 single-coil Stratocaster pickups, this guitar delivers the cherished vintage-era tone. It also includes modern five-way pickup switching, a single-ply white pickguard, and a serial number-stamped tremolo backplate as a homage to the 1954 design. The guitar comes with a tweed "center-pocket" case featuring Stratocaster 60th anniversary embroidery, along with a commemorative book.
