Introducing the Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster RI LTD HSS Relic – Daphne Blue Metallic, a standout creation from the 2025 NAMM Collection that blends vintage soul with modern muscle. This limited-edition Strat is built on a 1960-style platform with a lightly aged Relic lacquer finish, delivering authentic wear and character over a stunning Daphne Blue Metallic body. The lightweight 2-piece alder body is matched with a quarter-sawn flame maple neck and a flat laminated AAA rosewood fretboard, shaped into a comfortable 11/56 off-center “V” profile with a compound 7.25–9.5" radius, offering vintage feel with contemporary playability.
Under the hood, this Strat is wired for tonal versatility with a powerful Seymour Duncan SH-1 ’59 humbucker in the bridge and Hand-Wound Fat ’60s single-coils in the neck and RWRP middle positions. The POMO HSS wiring and 5-way switch provide dynamic control, while vintage-style hardware and a Custom Shop Vintage tremolo bridge keep things period-correct. With its rare HSS configuration, relic’d hardware, and NAMM-exclusive aesthetic, this Strat is a tone machine built for players who want boutique quality, unmatched character, and show-stopping looks.
