The Fender Custom Shop 1968 Stratocaster Reissue LTD Relic in 3-Tone Sunburst is a vintage-inspired masterpiece that captures the bold spirit and tone of late-’60s Fender innovation. Featuring a sorted 2-piece alder body finished in a lightly worn lacquer relic treatment, this guitar blends authentic ‘60s mojo with Custom Shop craftsmanship. The large ‘60s-style headstock, engraved limited edition neck plate, and round-lam maple fretboard on a rif-sawn maple neck give it a striking vintage look and a rock-solid feel.

Under the hood, a powerful trio of Custom Shop hand-wound pickups—a '69 Strat neck, Fat '50s middle, and a Texas Special bridge—deliver classic bell-like tones, fat mids, and searing leads. The 1/2 blender wiring with tone-saver offers enhanced tonal control, allowing you to blend pickups for extra versatility without losing clarity. Finished with 6105 narrow tall frets, a 9.5" radius, and a comfortable 1969 “U” neck profile, this Strat is designed for smooth playability with vintage vibe and modern flexibility. A true nod to the golden era of Stratocasters, crafted for the modern stage.
