Mojo, vibe, coolness: words often used to
describe a vintage Fender guitar that has not
only seen history, but also made history. From
the genesis of solidbody electric guitars in 1950
to the unleashing of the popular Relic guitars,
Fender has been there for the momentous
events that defined guitar culture.
The year 1995 was a landmark in the history of
the Fender Custom Shop—the year it introduced
the world to Relic guitars. By offering authentic
tone and broken-in feel of the original ’50s
models without requiring decades of use, the
introduction blindsided the industry.
Ingeniously “reliced” by the Custom Shop and
limited to a run of 95 units (a tribute to the year
they were released), the Fender Custom Shop
20th Anniversary Relic Stratoaster honors the
evolution of relicing and the Custom Shop’s
mastery of the art.
Each guitar tells an individual story, favored
elements such as smooth-feeling Heavy Relic®
necks with the slightest hints of finish on the
back and worn fingerboards reflect a player’s
unique touch. The highly resonant thin-coated
Relic body appears to bear the “battle scars”
from countless gigs, echoing innumerable hours
of strumming and picking.
Full of authentic Fender sound, the thin
nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the lightweight
body to “breathe” with unrestrained resonance.
With its traditional six-point tremolo bridge and
pickups meticulously hand wound with vintageaccurate Formvar wiring, the 20th Anniversary
Relic Stratocaster sings, whispers and soars with
practiced ease.
