Fender Custom Shop 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Relic – Wide Fade 2-Tone Sunburst

Celebrate Seven Decades of Strat® Excellence – Vintage Mojo, Collector Appeal, and True Fender Craftsmanship

Overview

Step into history with the Fender Custom Shop 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Relic in Wide Fade 2-Tone Sunburst. Built to honor the Strat’s iconic debut, this ultra-limited Custom Shop model features period-correct details, masterful relic aging, and authentic ’54 Stratocaster feel and tone. The result is an instrument as visually stunning as it is inspiring to play—perfect for both passionate players and discerning collectors.

This Strat’s off-center 2-piece ash body is finished in a relic’d Wide Fade 2-Tone Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer, perfectly replicating decades of loving play. The AAA birdseye maple neck is carved to a classic 1954 “soft V” shape with a 9.5” radius, narrow tall 6105 frets, and a vintage-correct 1.625" nut width, offering exceptional comfort for both rhythm and lead work.

Loaded with hand-wound Strat Fat ’50s pickups and Vintage Modified #1 wiring, you’ll experience that legendary bell-like chime, glassy highs, and punchy midrange that defined a generation of music. Aged chrome/nickel hardware, eggshell relic pickguard, vintage disk string tree, and commemorative serial number on the backplate round out this museum-worthy piece.
