Fender Custom Shop ’67 Stratocaster Relic w. Closet Classic Hardware, 3A Rosewood Fingerboard, Aged Blue Ice Metallic

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.
