“Vintage Soul. Custom Shop Precision.” A stunning Fender Custom Shop ‘63 Stratocaster Relic, finished in an exquisite Chocolate Sunburst — a rare, rich hue that oozes vintage class. Built in 2021 and crafted to exacting Custom Shop standards, this Strat blends iconic ‘60s styling with modern feel and reliability. It’s in excellent condition with only minimal fret wear and is housed in its original Fender Custom Shop hard case. This Strat sports a lightweight alder body and a relic’d nitrocellulose finish that gives it a beautifully aged look and feel, without the fragility of a true vintage piece. The maple neck features the comfortable ’65 “C” profile, topped with a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo frets; perfect for expressive bends and fast, articulate playability. Under the hood, the tone is pure Fender magic: Custom Shop Handwound ‘69 pickups in the neck and middle positions deliver that glassy, scooped Strat sound, while a Texas Special in the bridge brings a little extra grit and midrange growl when you need it. The traditional vintage 6 saddle tremolo and tuners complete the package, keeping things classic. Weighing in at just 3.43 kg, it’s incredibly resonant and comfortable whether you’re in the studio or on stage. This is a Strat that plays like a dream and delivers the kind of tonal sweetness that only a Custom Shop build can offer. If you’re looking for that vintage inspired look and tone, with Custom Shop precision and modern playability, this Chocolate Sunburst beauty is the one to beat.
