This Special Run 1957 Stratocaster Heavy Relic pairs classic mid-’50s Strat styling with bold, road-worn character. Finished in Aged Sherwood Green Metallic, the Heavy Relic lacquer shows deep wear and aging throughout, giving it the look and feel of a guitar that’s seen decades of steady use. The lightweight ash body keeps the response open and resonant, balancing the visual heft of the relic work with an easy, lively feel in hand. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable ’57-style soft “V” profile that sits naturally in the palm, offering a distinctly vintage grip without feeling cumbersome. A modern 9.5" radius and narrow tall frets make it smooth and approachable across the neck, while Custom Shop hand-wound 1957 Strat pickups deliver clear, articulate tones with classic sparkle and warmth. Wired with Vintage Modified #2 wiring, it offers familiar Strat versatility with a refined edge. Comes with Deluxe Hardshell Case, strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
