The new Heavy Relic 1957 Stratocaster is an amazing mixture of vintage vibe and feel combined with modern playability. The guitar has been given a heavy Relic treatment and features a lightweight ash body with a thin-skin nitrocellulose lacquer finish and single-ply parchment pickguard, a one-piece tinted and quartersawn maple neck with a 1957 “soft V" shape, a 9.5"-radius fingerboard with 6105 frets, a Fat ’50s neck pickup, a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity Fat ’50s middle pickup, a 1969 Custom Shop bridge pickup, five-way selector switch, vintage hardware and a bone nut.
