Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster Limited Edition '68 Reissue Relic Black Paisley

An absolutely breathtaking example of Fender Custom Shop craftsmanship, this Limited Edition '68 Stratocaster Relic is finished in stunning Black Paisley with a matching 4-ply pickguard. The gold leaf detailing in the paisley pattern is exquisite, truly something that must be seen in person, as photos simply don’t do it justice.

This guitar is in brand new condition and delivers classic Fender tones thanks to a carefully selected set of hand-wound pickups: a ’69 in the neck, Fat ’50s RWRP in the middle, and a Texas Special in the bridge. It plays as beautifully as it looks, with a smooth setup and fresh strings just installed.
