Step into the golden age of Fender with the Fender Custom Shop Time Machine '57 Stratocaster Heavy Relic, finished in stunning Aged White Blonde. Designed to capture the vibe, feel, and sound of an original 1957 Strat, this guitar features masterfully aged hardware, authentic vintage details, and Custom Shop upgrades that bring classic tone and playability into the modern era.

The lightweight, resonant two-piece ash body is finished in a thin, heavily relic’d nitrocellulose lacquer, artfully simulating decades of stage use. Its rift-sawn maple neck is carved to a comfortable 1957 Soft “V” profile, with a dark-tinted nitro finish for an instantly familiar, broken-in feel. The one-piece maple fingerboard sports a 9.5" radius, 21 narrow tall frets, and black micarta dot inlays, delivering effortless bends and smooth playability across the board.

Equipped with a trio of Custom Shop Hand-Wound Tomatillo Strat pickups—including a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle for hum-canceling positions—this Strat serves up legendary bell-like cleans, rich lows, and singing sustain. Vintage Modified Strat #2 GB wiring with a 5-way switch and aged white knobs provide authentic tonal flexibility and intuitive control.

Premium vintage-style hardware includes a Custom Shop synchronized tremolo, period-correct tuners, and a relic’d single-ply parchment pickguard. The guitar ships factory-strung with .010–.046 strings and includes a premium Fender Custom Shop hardshell case for ultimate protection.
