Fender Custom Shop '58 Stratocaster Relic, Faded Aged Candy Apple Red Overview
The Fender Custom Shop 2022 Time Machine '58 Strat Relic is a highlight from the '22 Spring Favourites collection. Featuring a meticulously applied Relic finish and a Faded Aged paint job, it resembles a classic Fender that's seen many a stage - the kind of ultra rare find that collectors and enthusiasts long for! But this isn't any old Stratocaster - the Custom Shop include modern upgrades like a 9.5" fretboard with 21 Narrow Tall fret wires and modern pickup wiring to enhance the overall playability and tones you can produce.
Speaking of the sounds, they're brought by hand-wound Fat '50s single coils that boast thick and juicy tones - packed to the brim with clarity and responsive dynamics. They're mated to a modern 5-way selector, you can extract every kind of tone for every situation - with RWRP middle position for hum cancelling on 2 and 4. Even better, the #2 Wiring with Tone-Saver Bleed circuit means you can roll off volume without sacrificing treble clarity. And like you'd expect from a top-of-the-line Fender, the rest of the appointments are pure premium: Bone nut, Custom Shop Synchronised Tremolo, and vintage-style tuning machines complete a guitar that would be the jewel in any guitarists' collection.

A true Relic of the past. Fender's Custom Shop are true masters of their craft, meticulously aging every single component of the '22 Collection Strat to create a guitar that's battle-worn and stage-hardened. It's been played, loved, and rocked for over 60 years, and the Relic finish is the living proof of its journey. This finish has a naturally worn feel that replicates the look and feel of an authentic vintage Strat - for those who want classic looks, modern playability, and 100% Fender pedigree.
Fat '50s pickups
The hand-wound Fat '50s pickups on this Time Machine '58 Strat are the epitome of vintage Fender tone. These single-coil pickups boast a noticeably hotter output compared to traditional '50s pickups, giving you thicker and more versatile tones. With its RWRP middle position, you get hum-canceling capabilities on positions 2 and 4 - perfect for those funky rhythm parts or smooth lead lines. And with the Vintage Modified #2 wiring, you can now roll off your volume without losing any treble detail - providing you with even more tonal options to explore.
Modern fretboard and hardware
The '58 Strat features a modern 9.5" radius fretboard, allowing for effortless string bending and a contemporary feel. The 21 Narrow Tall (6105) frets provide a comfortable playing experience for any style. The guitar also comes equipped with vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut, and wing string tree - adding to the overall stability and playability of this instrument. And not forgetting the Custom Shop Vintage Synchronized Tremolo, which allows for smooth and precise pitch shifting while maintaining tuning stability.
