| Inside and out, the ’60 Stratocaster Relic
guitar is a detailed recreation of its early '60s ancestor. It features
an alder body, ’60s C-shaped maple neck, and—for the first time in its
history—a smaller truss rod and slab laminated rosewood fingerboard with
clay dot markers. The pickup design is faithful to the original right down
to the materials and winding, producing a characteristically smooth and
glassy tone. Under the hood, they’ve even replicated the finish undercoating
and the crude pickup-wiring routing in the body.
This guitar has been given a “Relic” treatment—built
to show years of natural wear and tear; with nicks, scratches, worn finish,
rusty hardware and aged plastic parts. |
