Description:
There's no point in beating around the bush. Anyone with even a basic understanding of recent Fender history can't help but think of a certain artist when looking at this stunning Fender Custom Shop creation—especially of a very sought-after Signature model, known for its beauty but sadly no longer available in the Fender catalog.
This Fender Custom 1962 Stratocaster Relic in Black finish, crafted through the Fender Custom Shop's Custom Order program—of which Gino Guitars is a proud Showcase Dealer—is a true tribute to the guitar long used by the legendary guitarist John Mayer.
The result is simply breathtaking. The instrument looks incredible and, of course, sounds absolutely divine.
The specs strike that much-loved balance between vintage feel and modern playability. We've got the traditional alder body, a maple neck with a fast Modern "C" to "D" profile, and a hand-selected rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges for ultimate comfort and a 9.5" radius.
The electronics feature, naturally, a set of Fender Custom Hand-Wound 60/63 Stratocaster Single-Coil pickups wired with a modern setup.
