Fender Custom Shop TSG Exclusive ’63 Stratocaster Chambered Seminole Red Journeyman Relic w/Case

Serial: CZ588966
Weight: 7lbs 3oz

This Fender Custom Shop TSG Exclusive ’63 Stratocaster represents Tone Shop Guitars’ approach to refining a classic platform through thoughtful specification and hands-on selection. Built around a chambered ash body and finished in Journeyman Relic Seminole Red nitro lacquer, this instrument delivers vintage tone with enhanced resonance, reduced weight, and a naturally broken-in feel from the first note.

Designed as a Tone Shop specification build, this Stratocaster features necks hand-selected by our team for exceptional feel and visual character. The AAAA flame maple neck is carved to a comfortable early ’60s Oval “C” profile and finished with medium tint nitrocellulose lacquer, paired with rolled fingerboard edges and relic treatment for a smooth, played-in response that feels immediately familiar.

Custom Shop Fat ’60s pickups were chosen for their balanced output and expressive dynamic range, delivering classic Strat clarity with warm lows and articulate highs. Whether playing clean passages or pushing an amp into breakup, the set provides the bell-like sparkle and touch sensitivity expected from a great vintage-inspired Stratocaster.
