Fender Custom Shop 1967 Stratocaster Closet Classic Hardware Relic Blue Ice Metallic (276)

New for 2024, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the 1967 Stratocaster® Relic® with Closet Classic hardware. Honoring the legacy of late-‘60s, “large headstock” Stratocaster® guitars, this model delivers all the nuances that makes this era of Strat® special—a two-piece select alder body, quartersawn maple neck with ’60-style Oval “C” back-shape and parchment-bound, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, and a three-ply parchment pickguard loaded with Custom Shop hand-wound Texas Special™ pickups.

Dressed in Relic® lacquer Aged Blue Ice Metallic, Aged Ocean Turquoise, Aged Firemist Gold and Aged Charcoal Frost Metallic finishes with Closet Classic hardware, the 1967 Stratocaster® looks like a perfectly worn, workhorse that’s seen years and years of gigs, but was handled with care.

Other premium features include 9.5" radius, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, Vintage Modified #2 wiring with tone-saver bleed, 5-way switch, 3-ply parchment pickguard, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, wing string tree with nylon spacer, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
