A 2022 Fender Custom Shop “The 63” 1963 Stratocaster Relic in Surf Green — a meticulously crafted vintage-style Strat built with classic early-’60s specs and Custom Shop aging. Featuring a 2-piece alder body and a rift sawn maple neck with a round lam AAA rosewood fingerboard, this Strat delivers unmistakable vintage tone and feel. Outfitted with hand-wound 62/63 Strat pickups and vintage modified wiring, it offers articulate highs, woody mids, and classic Strat chime, all wrapped in a tastefully aged relic finish with a heavily worn neck for a broken-in feel.
