Fender Custom Shop LTD 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Heavy Relic 2-Color Sunburst w/case

Fender Custom Shop LTD 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Heavy Relic 2-Color Sunburst

Serial: 79920
Weight: 7lbs 6oz

This 70th Anniversary ’54 Stratocaster was built to celebrate the year the Strat was born — with specs, tonewoods, and a relic finish that stay true to that era. The Heavy Relic treatment gives it decades of broken-in character without needing the actual decades, while the 2-Color Sunburst finish and wide-fade aging nail that early Fender look.

Under the hood, it’s loaded with hand-wound ’54 Strat pickups, vintage-style wiring, and all the small details that make a real difference: an ash body, a one-piece maple neck with a soft “V” that transitions comfortably as you move up the board, and a 7.25"–9.50" compound radius that plays like an old friend but bends like a modern build. This is pure mid-century Fender DNA — refined where it matters, faithful everywhere else.
