A crown jewel of Fender's production, the Custom Shop instruments are guitars and basses crafted to the highest quality standards, from wood selection to hand-wound pickups, finishes, and hardware craftsmanship. The result is highly reliable instruments with an unmistakable sound and exceptional playability.

We chose this Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster '62 JRN/CC Relic not only because the Faded Aged Daphne Blue finish is stunning, but also because it’s a truly exceptional guitar, elegant and with a remarkably pure sound. Handcrafted by the master luthiers of Fender's Custom Shop, it is built to perfection, with unmatched expertise and meticulous attention to detail.

The lightweight and highly resonant alder body delivers a balanced tone with defined lows, rich mids, and clear highs. The beautifully aged maple neck offers a familiar, smooth, and natural playing feel. The rosewood fingerboard, with its 9.5" radius, allows for effortless movement and excellent control over nuanced playing.

The legendary tonal palette of this guitar comes from three 60/63 Strat pickups, delivering the quintessential Strat sound. The neck pickup is warm and deep, offering an enveloping and rounded tone. The bridge pickup shines with brightness and attack, while the middle pickup, featuring Reverse Winding & Polarity, reduces noise and delivers clear, almost singing intermediate tones. In short, this Strat has the tone, provides exceptional playing feel, and boasts a level of aesthetic sophistication that's a cut above.
