The Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic with matching headcap delivers period correct appointments, hand wound pickup voicing, and Custom Shop hardware in a factory aged lacquer finish ready for studio tracking or live performance. This model pairs documented Custom Shop construction with a tonal range tailored to players who want authentic late 1960s single coil character without aftermarket modification.
Pickup Voice and Wiring
Custom Shop hand wound pickups provide the guitar's core sound: a Texas Special at the bridge for biting presence, a Fat 50s in the middle for thicker rhythm tones, and a '69 pickup at the neck for warm, singing leads. The Vintage Modified Strat number two wiring and a 5 way switch let you access classic single coil positions and blended tones useful for recording, layering, and live set versatility.
Neck, Playability, and Hardware
The one piece quartersawn maple neck uses a 1969 U back shape combined with a 7.25 to 9.5 inch vintage compound radius and 21 narrow tall 6105 frets to balance chord comfort with clean bends. Period hardware choices include a bone nut, vintage F style tuning machines, an American Vintage 65 plus string tree, and a Custom Shop Vintage Synchronized Tremolo to support authentic vibrato feel and stable tuning during gigging.
Finished in lacquer and aged through the Heavy Relic process with a matching headcap, the instrument is supplied with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity. Serial number R149040 and display number 122 document provenance, making this Custom Shop Stratocaster a playable studio instrument and a compelling piece for collectors.
