Fender Custom Shop Electric Guitar 2023 Collection Time Machine 1956 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Aged 2-Color Sunburst [SN.CZ569353]

Color order model of the 2023 collection model! ! 56 strat with RELIC finish with a soft V-neck shape on the ash body! !

This one is based on the 1956 Stratocaster in the maple one-piece neck period! !
We have adopted an offset ash body that is carefully selected for Fender Custom Shop products by wood selection specialists and does not have the adhesive surface in the center position. The pickguard is a 1-ply parchment guard with 8-point stops, and due to the thin material used at the time, there are distortions and floats that occur due to aging / deterioration from the time of completion. One-piece maple is used for the neck material, which has been carefully selected as well as the body. The fingerboard R uses the compound radius of 7.25R-9.5R that is used in the Vintage Custom series, and the fret is a medium vintage size with a narrow width and high height. Body and neck finish is all lacquer finish like vintage. The body has an irregular weather check, and the ultra-thin Flash Coat Lacquer finish allows you to see the unevenness of the wood grain. The back of the neck is stripped from the 1st to 12th floors, and the texture of the wood makes it smooth and comfortable to play. The neck finish has an amber finish with a clear coat that has faded, and the dirt around the frets is also reproduced. The neck grip has a "54 Soft V" shape finish with a smooth top. There is little change in thickness from the low position to the high position, and the smooth and moderately thick V-shaped finish makes the grip so easy to grip that it feels like a C-shape.
The hardware is a synchronized tremolo with a PAT.PEND. stamped saddle, and the machine head is equipped with a vintage type Crewson peg.
The custom shop's live sound, which exceeds the line among fenders that are characterized by a clear live sound due to the bolt-on structure, has a different dimension of atmosphere and sound thickness when it is output from the amplifier. What's more, the sound produced by the relic finish is such that you can fully experience the vibration of the body and neck just by playing one chord. The overwhelming raw sound is so comfortable that you can play it forever without outputting it with an amplifier, and it is a quality that you can only enjoy at a custom shop that has a satisfying playing feel.

The pickups that reproduce that wonderful ringing are all hand-wound pickups. Compared to normal machine winding, the impression that the amplifier outputs an acoustic atmosphere with rich overtones. The installed model is equipped with a 55 STRAT single coil (Alnico 3 / foam bar). It has a clear and sharp tone, and the low pole piece of the 3rd string gives the impression that the volume balance of the plain strings is good. Since the middle pickup has a reverse winding reverse magnetic pole specification, noise is reduced by the hum cancellation effect at the mix position.
The control adopts VINT 54-58 Strat. A 5-way lever switch is used, but the bridge pickup is a vintage specification with a tone bypass. Normally, the tone balance between the neck & middle PU and the bridge PU collapses, but it has a gorgeous sound that does not make you feel uncomfortable. The warm sound when the volume is slightly turned down and the tone cut is also attractive. By turning down the volume a little, you can get the tone balance from the neck to the bridge, which is unique to vintage wiring.
There are four color variations for the 2023 collection model. Contrary to the appearance of ultra-thin paint and moderate relic finish, don't miss this one that has a well-balanced sound! !
