The new session run from the Fender Candy, er… custom shop

1963 Stratocaster Metallic Relic

After the success of our Fender Dealer Select guitars from the custom shop, the heads of our electric guitar departments Dennis and Norbert, buyer Achim and of course Mr. custom shop himself, Olli Lohmann, have put their heads together and can now announce the successor.

The result is a 1963 run that includes Stratocasters in a variety of great colors, all united in their eye-catching Relic Metallic finish.

Specs

The ingredients of these pieces of sugar are a body made of lightweight sorted weight , a quartersawn maple neck with Olli's favorite 60s style oval 'C' neck profile and a dark AAA rosewood fingerboard. The Handwound 60/63 pickup set ensures the outstanding, typical Strat sound .

Relic

Regarding artificial aging, we thought of something special for the 1963 Metallic Run. The guitars basically correspond to the Relic type , the intermediate level between the more subtle Journeyman Relic (known from our Dealer Select models) and the aggressive Heavy Relic. However, the hardware is kept in the lightest Relic level, Closet Classic, for better adjustability. For the pleasant feeling of a well-rehearsed neck, the back was given the robust Heavy Relic.

Colors

The run includes 12 different colors that will make your mouth water: Black, Lake Placid Blue, Candy Apple Red, Purple, Charcoal Frost, Burgundy Mist, British Racing Green, but also rarer finishes such as Candy Tangerine, Teal Green, Copper , Inka Silver or Shoreline Gold. In combination with the parchment parts and the pickguard in mint, the result is an eye candy that is second to none.
