The finish has been further tinted to recreate the warm ambering and natural aging process of decades of exposure, giving the guitar the appearance and soul of a true road-worn classic right out of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this instrument are Fender Custom Shop’s innovative Dual Mag II Stratocaster pickups, a refined take on the traditional Strat voice. Featuring a combination of Alnico 5 magnets under the lower strings and Alnico 2 magnets under the B and high E strings, these pickups deliver exceptional string-to-string balance, sparkling highs, articulate lows, and the unmistakable clarity and \"quack\" that define a great Stratocaster. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003evintage-inspired tone with improved response, dynamics, and consistency across the entire fretboard\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roasted maple neck adds another layer of character, offering enhanced stability, a smooth played-in feel, and a rich, darkened aesthetic. Fender Custom Shop takes this further with an additional dark tint treatment, creating a deeply aged appearance that perfectly complements the Relic finish. The neck features the highly sought-after 10\/56 \"V\" profile, a shape inspired by the feel of some of Fender’s most desirable mid-’50s instruments. It provides a \u003cstrong\u003esubstantial yet comfortable carve with a natural grip that feels immediately familiar in the hands\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding a modern playing advantage is the compound radius fingerboard, transitioning from a vintage-inspired 7.25\" radius in the lower registers to a more contemporary 9.5\" radius higher up the neck. This design preserves the comfortable feel and classic response of an early Strat while allowing for \u003cstrong\u003eeasier bends, smoother lead playing\u003c\/strong\u003e, and improved playability across the entire fretboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA absolutely stunning instrument for players who appreciate vintage authenticity but demand exceptional versatility and playability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51891630112900,"sku":"RHG823","price":5550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4710\/8996\/files\/RHG823-2.jpg?v=1781625586","url":"https:\/\/roundhillmusicco.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-50s-dualmag-ii-compound-radius-stratocaster-relic-aged-nocaster-blonde","provider":"Round Hill Music Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
