They've been coming here every weekend with just one aim - to express the song of their souls through screaming amps. They give it all like there's no tomorrow. This amazing Fender Stratocaster takes you back to this club. Being a creation of Custom Shop based on the 60s Stratocaster, it also has features associated with the 1959 model. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eStarting with the wood - a lightweight piece of ash was used for the body. Thanks to it the guitar's weight is low, around 3.15 kilograms. It helps to resonate better and in combination with a thicker, large C neck delivers sustain and punchy note dynamics. The hardware is pretty standard - American Vintage tremolo and tuning keys, a 5-way switch, 3 knobs, and an angled jack input. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe neck feels nice and solid, not too thick yet on the larger side. Its back is sanded off to create the worn-out vintage feeling, worth noting is also the rolling of fret edges. All together it gives a nice vibe of an older, played-in instrument with a story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eAs far as the pickups go, the 69\/65\/Texas Special combo has the appetite for a hotter blues drive. It's by no means a humble sound for those who like to be in the shadow - both in the clean and overdriven version it will be pushing you to the front with a nice balance of sparkle and midrange compression. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eVisually, the color is dominant, in your face plum purple with a metallic shine. The relic job is heavy, and there's a lot of wood sneaking from under the paint. Scratches, wears, and tears - it's all we're in for here. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eBody: ash\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eBody sorted for lightweight: yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eLacquer: purple metallic, nitro\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eRelic: Heavy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eNeck: maple 5\/4 quarter-sawn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eNeck profile: large C (.850\" 1st fret - .950\" 12th fret)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eBack of the neck finish: sanded off, worn, relic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFretboard: AAA rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFretboard radius: 9.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFrets: 6105 Sanko\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePickups: 69 (neck) \/ 65 RWRP (middle) \/ Texas Special (bridge)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eBridge: American Vintage Tremolo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eTuners: American Vintage Tuners\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eWeight: 3.15 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eHardcase: yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eCertificates: yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eRelic: yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47287103521092,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2262\/4241\/files\/fender_custom_shop_59_stratocaster_heavy_relic_purple_full_front.jpg?v=1698672859","url":"https:\/\/stringtaste.com\/en-eu\/products\/fender-custom-shop-stratocaster-59-heavy-relic-purple-metallic","provider":"String Taste","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
