Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Guitar – Aged Vintage White – CHUCKSCLUSIVE – #R111533

Includes Authentic Swagger – The Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Guitar – Aged Vintage White – CHUCKSCLUSIVE

1969 was a great year for music and for Fender® guitars, and this 1969 Heavy Relic Stratocaster picks up just the right amount of extra swagger from its combination of authentic “big headstock” Fender style with a more contemporary feel and modern switching. Along with the distinctive large headstock for that year, the ’69 Stratocaster® includes a U-shaped maple neck with round laminate rosewood fingerboard, a three-ply pickguard, and a custom ’60s single-coil pickup set. With it’s select light weight solid ash body, this Strat has a sharp attack that projects a resonant tone with punchy upper mids and excellent sustain. Hand-wound Custom Shop ’69 Strat Relic single-coils are joined by a five-way switch and modern wiring.

Other features include a riftsawn maple neck with ’69 “U”-shaped profile, 7.25″-radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard, three-ply Parchment pickguard, 21 medium-jumbo #6105 frets, American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style “F”-stamped tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree with nylon spacer. It includes a deluxe hardshell case, strap and Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity.

Our 65th Anniversary

Chuck Levin’s was founded in 1958 and saw its early successes while the original versions of these Custom Shop Stratocasters were leaving the Fender Custom shop. Like the Fender Stratocaster, Chuck Levin’s has endured and thrived for decades since and become a legend to many musicians. To celebrate our 65th Anniversary and our shared history with Fender, Chuck Levin’s has partnered with the Fender Custom Shop to bring you this amazing instrument.
