Fender Custom Shop LTD '62/'63 Stratocaster Relic Fiesta Red

This incredible recreation captures the peak of early-60s design, painstakingly handcrafted by Fender's world-class Custom Shop luthiers. Finished in a gorgeous Aged Fiesta Red Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer, it delivers the unmistakable balance of clarity, warmth, and resonance that drove countless iconic recordings. Built with a 2-piece select alder body and a rift-sawn maple neck with a heavy relic back, it offers a comfortable, broken-in vintage feel that invites you to play.

Equipped with three hand-wound ’60/’63 Strat Custom Shop pickups and Vintage Modified #2 wiring, this guitar produces classic spank and sparkle with glassy highs and bell-like chime. The "Dirty" Closet Classic covers and knobs add to the authentic vintage aesthetic of this 2022 Limited Edition. It’s a rare chance to own a masterfully crafted instrument built with features often reserved for professional artists.
