No guitar feels quite like a Fender Custom Shop — discover the difference for yourself with this 1963 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic from Sweetwater!Premium ash, maple, and rosewood With genuine 1960s Fender instruments fetching exorbitant prices nowadays, they’re out of most players’ price range. Thankfully, Fender Custom Shop re-creations, like the 1963 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic, provide quintessential early-’60s Strat benefits with extra character. This Strat has the nimble body cut of the ’63 model, and the body is made from ash instead of alder. Ash’s sound is a throwback to earlier Fender guitars from the 1950s. Ash’s tone matches alder’s warmth and clarity, but you’ll likely notice ash’s bolder sustain and muscular midrange when playing loud through a driven tube amp. This guitar’s crown jewel is a AAA rosewood fingerboard in the round-lam style (debuted in 1962). A rift-sawn maple neck with a ’63 “C” profile lends your fretting hand proper support for fast fretting with the bonus benefits of consummate resilience and stability that rift-sawn maple provides.Hand-wound vintage pickups Three hand-wound ’60/’63 Strat single-coil pickups provide exceptional versatility, from grinding blues rock and lead tones to angelic chime and visceral spank. These pickups feature hand-wound coils, period-correct Formvar wire, vintage magnet staggering, and Alnico V magnets for a lively pickup response that incentivizes dynamic players. Premium wiring and pickup controls increase your options even more. The middle pickup is reverse wound to eliminate hum. The Fat ’50s 1/2 Blender circuit lets you combine the bridge and neck pickups, and the Greasebucket tone circuit keeps all frequencies full-bodied for a high-quality sound, even at lower levels. Greasebucket tone circuit Rolling back your tone knob can sometimes leave notes feeling floppy, muddy, or just plain dull. This effect comes from a perceived increase in bass as the tone knob cuts treble frequencies. Fender’s unique Greasebucket tone circuit remedies this common problem. Much like a grease trap at your favorite diner or greasy spoon, a Greasebucket tone circuit siphons off mud and muck to leave you with pure, flavorful tone in the bass and midrange. Perfect for clean or driven tones, the Greasebucket circuit lets you sound thick and full without drowning in gravy. Our compliments to the chef!The relic treatment Relic’d guitar finishes are common these days, but it was Fender Custom Shop that first took the industry by storm with its groundbreaking synthetic aging process for guitars. This 1963 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic has an authentic nitrocellulose lacquer finish — thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes — that allows the wood to breathe and the tone to bloom. With the Super Heavy Relic finish, you get a guitar with a played-in feel, perfect fretwork, and a highly worn visual character that looks convincingly earned through hundreds of gigs. And like every fine instrument in Sweetwater’s Guitar Gallery, it’s been through our 55-point Inspection for guaranteed splendid playability right out of the box.Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic Features: Masterfully built using premium materials in the USA Resonant ash body provides old-school Fender tone and top-notch sustain Premium nitrocellulose lacquer finish feels light, thin, and natural, with more breathing room for tonewoods to bloom Rift-sawn maple neck yields comfortable playability with a ’63-style “C” neck carve AAA round-lam rosewood fingerboard looks gorgeous and plays even better 3 hand-wound ’60/’63 Strat single-coil pickups deliver quintessential Strat range with Alnico V magnets Fat ’50s 1/2 Blender wiring and Greasebucket circuit expand pickup options and preserve treble at low volumes Bone nut ensures exceptional vibrational transfer and better tone Fender Custom Shop neck plate with stamped serial number for authenticity Includes Fender Custom Shop certificate SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Solidbody Body Shape 1963 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic Body Material 2-piece Select Ash Color Super Fade 3-color Sunburst Body Finish Nitrocellulose Lacquer Neck Material Rift Sawn Maple Neck Shape 1963 Strat C Neck Joint Bolt-on Radius 9.5" Fingerboard Material AAA Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 21, Narrow Tall (6105) Scale Length 25.5" Nut Width 1.650" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece Fender Custom Shop Vintage Synchronized Tremolo Tuners Vintage-style Neck Pickup Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound '60/'63 Strat Single-coil Middle Pickup Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound '60/'63 RWRP Strat Single-coil Bridge Pickup Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound '60/'63 Strat Single-coil Controls 1 x volume, 1 x tone, 1 x 1/2 blend Switching 5-way blade pickup switch Strings Nickel Plated Steel, .010-.046 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
