Finished in Relic lacquer silver-burst over Paisley front and back, you can now enjoy the look, sound, and feel of Fender’s iconic Pink Paisley era guitars without the “Flower-Power” vibe. The tinted maple neck has a comfortable, even tapered “C” profile with a maple cap ‘board and faded nitrocellulose late 60s “big headstock.  A 9.5” radius and 6105 jumbo frets allow big bends without choking out. The 5-way toggle controls a hand-wound mix of custom shop pickups— 69 Strat Relic (neck), reverse wound FAT 50s (middle), and Texas Special (bridge). From cut-through-the-mix highs to funky, out-of-phase quack and unique looks that will turn every head in the house, this Custom Shop masterpiece delivers it all.
