Built by master builder, Andy Hicks, this Fender Custom Shop Green Quartz Crackle Stratocaster is a modernized classic, designed for players who demand both vintage feel and cutting-edge performance. Its 2-piece alder body is finished with Satin Lacquer Green Quartz and Pink Crackle, paired with a beautifully figured 4A flame maple neck shaped in a comfortable '60s-style "C" profile. The oil-finished neck, compound radius (9.5"-12"), and medium jumbo frets make for an exceptionally smooth, fast-playing experience.
Under the hood, this Strat is loaded with Andy’s custom HSS wiring, featuring hand-wound 60/63 Strat pickups in the neck and middle positions, and a powerful Sonic Pickups Smokehouse humbucker at the bridge—offering a wide tonal range from vintage sparkle to modern crunch. The Floyd Rose bridge and Floyd nut ensure rock-solid tuning stability, while pearloid accents and vintage-style tuners round out the look. Hicks’ signature neck plate marks this as a true Custom Shop original—equal parts workhorse and collector’s piece, built by one of Fender’s most thoughtful and player-focused luthiers.
