Fender Strat, built from parts, largely made in Mexico 2018, relic sunburst. This here is a nice little Strat, built from some tasty parts and envisioned to channel an SRV vibe. The neck is a pretty new offical Fender replacement Classic 70s Strat neck; so it's a moderate U profile with the vintage correct 7.25" radius and the bullet truss rod. It's been attached to a lovely ash body which seems to be a Classic 50s model and blessed with sturdy set of locking tuners and a hefty Wilkinson bridge, as well as some tasty Fender pickups and deluxe electronics. It adds up nicely in the hands: the neck is super slick and easy to get along with and the relic body feels like an old friend. Tone-wise, the ST-Vintage pickups deliver a warm and articulate spank on the neck and middle positions, while the Texas Special in the bridge is a bit hotter and adds a bit of bluesy roar for good measure. There's a lot to like here; if you're into the relic thing this is surely a great little buy and a whole lot of fun.

Cosmetic condition notes: relic finish wear. Headstock and neck are pretty clean, no major marks. Neck has been lightly sanded back on the back to a semi-gloss finish. The body has a bunch of rub wear and sanded patches to simulate heavy wear; best to just see the pics and get the idea. Overall: very good condition (8/10)
