There's no greater finish than that of a Heavy Relic. Authentic, vintage, and undeniably stunning, it is sure to whisk you away into a world of pure '60s greatness. And it looks the part too. Crafted from alder, the body thrives with blues and rock styles, which makes sense as you'll want to delve into rock 'n' roll in all its glory. A '60s-style oval "C" neck then provides another flashback to the era of ground-breaking guitars, so you can relish a true playing experience.
Exceptionally smooth playability
A guitar that calls out to you... The '61 Stratocaster Heavy Relic is sensational to play. As the maple neck sits comfortably in your hand, a ravishing rosewood fretboard - adorned with 21 narrow tall frets - will allow for smooth and seamless fretting. This means you can focus on the things that matter most - your jaw-dropping playing and blinding performance.
Thrilling '60s sound
It's the pioneering era of rock 'n' roll, and now you can experience it in all its glory. Delve into the Strat's iconic snap and bite - it's all possible with three Fat '60s pickups. They're custom wound to ensure each pickup brings its own unique character whilst also exuding all that delicious vintage flair. You'll have clarity, power, and punch flowing with each and every note.
Even though they sound vintage, this trio of pickups are still swimming in modern innovation, perfect for the demands of today's guitarists. The middle pickup is reverse-wound which means it alleviates any unwanted hum, so you'll only have pure, immaculate sonic greatness soaring from the speakers.
Protection included
Keep your guitar protected wherever you go. The hardshell case will absorb any knocks and scrapes on the road, ensuring your instrument is kept in immaculate condition. Even better, a strap is included to ensure you can play anytime, anywhere. And a certificate of authenticity is evidence for the prestige you will be in the presence of.
