Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster® Super Heavy Relic®, Faded Aged Fiesta Red

Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster Super Heavy Relic – Vintage Mojo, Modern Mastery

The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster® Super Heavy Relic® delivers the look, feel, and tone of a late-’50s Strat that has lived a lifetime on the road. Finished in Faded Aged Fiesta Red, this model showcases one of the most dramatic ageing treatments Fender offers—complete with worn lacquer, exposed wood, oxidised hardware, and decades-deep character.

Built with period-correct materials and top-tier craftsmanship, this ’59 Strat features a quartersawn maple neck, a dark slab rosewood fingerboard, and a lightweight alder body that resonates with classic Strat clarity. Hand-wound Custom Shop pickups capture the sweet top end, warm low mids, and articulate response that define late-’50s Strat tones.

Every detail—from the Super Heavy Relic finish to the vintage hardware and wiring—recreates the feel of a true survivor from the golden era. With unmatched playability and a voice that sings both clean and driven, this Custom Shop ’59 is built for players who want real vintage soul with modern reliability.
