The Fender Custom Shop Limited-edition ’57 Stratocaster Relic in Faded Aged Daphne Blue is a masterfully crafted tribute to one of the most iconic electric guitars ever produced. Built by Fender’s elite Custom Shop luthiers, this instrument captures the unmistakable look, feel, and tone of a well-loved 1957 Strat—right down to its authentically worn Relic finish.
At its core is a lightweight alder body finished in a beautifully faded Daphne Blue nitrocellulose lacquer, artfully aged to evoke decades of real-world play. The one-piece maple neck features a comfortable soft “V” profile, delivering a smooth, vintage-inspired playing experience that feels instantly familiar in the hands.
Tonally, this Stratocaster is equipped with a trio of hand-wound Custom Shop single-coil pickups, offering the classic bell-like highs, warm mids, and articulate low end that defined the golden era of electric guitar. From glassy cleans to gritty blues breakup, it responds dynamically to every nuance of your playing.
Vintage-correct hardware—including a synchronized tremolo bridge and period-accurate appointments—completes the experience, ensuring both aesthetic authenticity and reliable performance. Every detail, from the relic’d finish to the meticulously recreated specifications, reflects Fender’s dedication to honoring the legacy of the original 1957 Strat.
This limited-edition model isn’t just a guitar—it’s a time machine for players who crave vintage character, modern precision, and unmistakable Strat tone in one exceptional instrument.
