The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster: Vintage Tone, Modern Playability

Iconic 60s Stratocaster Design with Relic Charm

Step into the golden age of electric guitars with this Pre-Owned 2015 Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster in a beautifully aged Faded Black relic finish. This guitar captures the essence of an early ‘60s Strat, complete with era-correct specs, tasteful relic wear, and a tone that’s as expressive as it is authoritative. Built with the discerning player in mind, this Custom Shop creation delivers both timeless aesthetic and modern dependability.

Premium Materials and Vintage-Correct Specs

Crafted from select alder, the two-piece body provides a balanced tonal foundation with plenty of natural resonance. The quartersawn maple neck is topped with a AAA slab rosewood fretboard, contributing warmth and clarity while offering superior structural stability. The worn lacquer finish not only looks authentically vintage, but allows the wood to breathe for optimal tonal response. Fender’s meticulous relic treatment gives the instrument the feel and vibe of a well-loved classic that’s been gigged and cherished for decades.

Effortless Feel and Impeccable Fretwork

This Strat sports the comfortable '60 Style Oval "C" neck profile with vintage-style fretwire and a modern 9.5-inch radius for smooth bends and clean chording. With a slightly dirty tint and tasteful aging, the neck offers a broken-in feel right out of the case. The fretwork is immaculate, ensuring low action and effortless playability across the board. A bone nut and vintage-style tuners round out the classic features while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability.

Authentic Fender Tone with Modern Versatility

Under the hood, you’ll find a trio of Custom Shop ’60s pickups, including a reverse-wound middle pickup for hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4. These pickups deliver everything from classic bell-like Strat chime to punchy mids and singing leads. The 5-way switch paired with modern wiring gives you access to an expansive tonal palette while maintaining that unmistakable vintage character. Whether clean or driven, the tone is rich, responsive, and unmistakably Fender.

Collector-Worthy and Stage-Ready

This instrument is in excellent condition and comes fully loaded with the original hardshell case, strap, hangtag, certificate of authenticity, polish cloth, tremolo arm, cable, and warranty documentation. Everything you’d expect from a top-tier Custom Shop guitar is here, ready for the studio, the stage, or the collector’s wall. It’s a professional-grade instrument with serious tone, history, and soul.
