Honouring the legacy of late-'60s large headstock Stratocaster® guitars, this Fender Custom Shop 1967 Stratocaster® Relic® arrives with a two-piece select alder body, quartersawn maple neck shaped to a '60-style Oval C profile, and a parchment-bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. The Aged Charcoal Frost Metallic finish receives a Relic® lacquer treatment that mimics decades of stage use on a carefully maintained guitar, while Closet Classic hardware adds period-correct tarnish and wear. Hand-wound Texas Special™ pickups from the Custom Shop deliver the authentic late-'60s Strat® voice with enhanced output and clarity.
The 9.5" radius fingerboard carries 21 narrow tall (6105) frets for comfortable bends and accurate intonation across the neck. Vintage Modified #2 wiring with tone-saver bleed circuit preserves high-end clarity when rolling back the volume, while the five-way switch provides classic Stratocaster® tonal options through the three-ply parchment pickguard-mounted pickups. A bone nut, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, and wing string tree with nylon spacer complete the period-accurate hardware spec. The guitar ships with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity documenting its Custom Shop provenance.
