This Custom Shop Strat features an alder body, ’60s C-shaped maple neck, and—for the first time in its history—a smaller truss rod and slab laminated rosewood fingerboard with clay dot markers. The pickup design is faithful to the original 1960 Strat right down to the materials and winding, producing a characteristically smooth and glassy tone. Under the hood, the Fender Custom Shop even replicated the finish undercoating and the crude pickup-wiring routing in the body. The Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster has been given Fender's Relic treatment—built to show years of natural wear and tear; with nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts.

It feels very sturdy and reliable but what Stratocaster doesen't? I have no issues with it what so ever. Sound: Sound like a Strat should. Just plugged into the amp all by itself with no effects it sounds excellent. Reliability: It's a Strat. These things can handle abuse. Overall: This is a very good guitar. Just what I expected from the Fender Custom Shop. Playability and Feel: I used to have an American Vintage 62 Reissue Strat and this thing weighs a little more than that. The neck feels good and is easy to play. Tone: I mainly play blues and rock guitar and let me tell you, although I do feel that it was a bit over priced the tone from these babies is well worth it. These are special made custom shop pickups that you cannot buy retail. Finish: Looks like a beat up strat from the 60s that's been played to death. What suprised me was that the wear patterns make sense also: they arn't just in random places all over but in certain places you would expect wear paterns to be for instance, on mine both sides of the neck near the fretboard from the first to fifth frets the finish is worn down to the bare wood which looks like it was played extensivley by a rhythm player. Of course there's dings and scratches on the body as well. Action: The action was o.k. out of the box but a few adjustments and it was perfect.
