The Fender Custom Shop 2022 Time Machine 58 Strat Relic is a highlight from the 22 Spring Favourites collection. Featuring a meticulously applied Relic finish and a Faded Aged paint job it resembles a classic Fender thats seen many a stage – the kind of ultra rare find that collectors and enthusiasts long for! But this isnt any old Stratocaster – the Custom Shop include modern upgrades like a 9.5″ fretboard with 21 Narrow Tall fret wires and modern pickup wiring to enhance the overall playability and tones you can produce. Speaking of the sounds theyre brought by hand-wound Fat 50s single coils that boast thick and juicy tones – packed to the brim with clarity and responsive dynamics. Theyre mated to a modern 5-way selector you can extract every kind of tone for every situation – with RWRP middle position for hum cancelling on 2 and 4. Even better the #2 Wiring with Tone-Saver Bleed circuit means you can roll off volume without sacrificing treble clarity. And like youd expect from a top-of-the-line Fender the rest of the appointments are pure premium: Bone nut Custom Shop Synchronised Tremolo and vintage-style tuning machines complete a guitar that would be the jewel in any guitarists collection.
