Released to mark the Stratocasters 50th Anniversary, this exquisite 2004 Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt 1954 Stratocaster Relic, meticulously handcrafted by master builder Chris Fleming, is a true work of art, blending the timeless design of the iconic 1954 Stratocaster with the unparalleled expertise of Fender's Custom Shop. This was the first time a vintage Stratocaster had been recreated to this level of detail, with all hardware, neck shape and reproduction '50s style plastic parts.
Every detail of this instrument has been carefully considered, from the lightly relic'd 'Closet Classic' style finish that captures the look and feel of a well-loved vintage guitar to the premium materials that ensure exceptional playability and tone. The one-piece select ash body resonates with clarity and sustain, while the custom-wound 1954 spec single coil pickups deliver the classic Stratocaster chime, warmth, and bite that have defined generations of music.
The quartersawn maple neck features a traditional 'U' profile and a hand-rolled fingerboard edge, offering a comfortable and authentic playing experience. Paired with a period-correct 7.25" radius and vintage-style frets, this guitar feels like it was plucked straight from the golden era of Fender.
This guitar is in exceptional condition, and is internally and externally original. It retains its original certificate, reproduction strap, and '54 style form fitted hard case.
As with all our vintage instruments, this guitar has been given a thorough service by the Vintage Instrument Workshop and is guaranteed for 2 years in line with our vintage instrument warranty. Get an additional 3 years workshop warranty cover with the No.Tom Guitars Extended Warranty.
