2012 Fender Stratocaster HSS '69 Heavy Relic "Master Built"

Check out this wild Master Built Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster ’69 Heavy Relic special ordered in well aged Sonic Blue finish made by John Cruz & Jason Smith. The maple neck is dated June 2012 signed by Cruz & November 2012 signed by Smith. Somehow this fantastic Heavy Relic is 1 of my faves ever. This Strat features a solid alder body, quartersawn maple neck w/a large headstock & a large Fender logo. Equipped with a set of Fender Handwound 69 Strat single coil pickups w/a nickel plated Humbucker in its lead position. Controlled by 1 volume & 2 tone pots w/a 5-Way switch with vintage mod wiring. The 25.5″ scale length neck has black micarta dot inlays and black micarta side markers with 21 Dunlop 6105 narrow tall frets w/a 1969 “U” type profile. The hardware is comprised of aged nickel & chrome Fender “F” Stamp tuning machines with contemporary cloche heads, a Fender Custom Shop installed Floyd Rose Vibrato w/the coolest aged vintage white top hat knobs over a 3-ply parchment nitro Relic’d pickguard. It’s as new & hard to replicate having both John Cruz & Jason Smith provenance, she is surely worth the price of admission & she’s so frickin cool in every respect if you like heavy Relics. Comes complete with/a generic hard case.
