Fender Stratocaster Time Machine – 65 STRATOCASTER RELIC Electric Guitar Review :: Fender Electric Guitar Reviews

plays like it’s still brand new.

musical instruments image

This guitar is an exact reproduction of the original and plays like it’s still brand new and sounds as good as it gets. Select alder body with lovingly abused nitrocellulose lacquer finish and ’65 C-shaped neck with round laminated 7-1/4″-radius rosewood fretboard, using the same techniques and tooling, right down to the thinskin finish, narrow dot spacing and ’65 transition headstock logo. Even the pickups of the 65 Fender STRATOCASTER RELIC electric guitar have been duplicated to the exact specs of the original. The distinctive neck shape and round-lam fingerboard construction further replicate one of Fender Strat’s finest instruments. This electric guitar features the Relic treatment—built to show years of natural wear and tear; with nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts.
