2025 Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1964 L-Series Stratocaster in Heavy Relic in Aged Daphne Blue
This guitar is in “new” condition. Taken from box to test and photograph.
The Fender Custom Shop introduces a model that captures the look and tone of a Strat from an especially distinctive and sought-after era: the Limited Edition 1964 L-Series Stratocaster. Its two-piece select alder body wears a Heavy Relic lacquer finish that beautifully imparts the look and feel of a mid-’60s Strat that has endured decades of heavy wear and tear.
Its rift-sawn maple neck is fashioned with a comfortably easy-playing 1963-style “C”-shaped profile, topped by a round-lam rosewood fingerboard with a compound radius (7.25” to 9.5”) 21 medium vintage (47095) frets and a bone nut. Classic Strat tone of that period comes from three Custom Shop hand-wound ’64 Stratocaster pickups (reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup for hum cancellation in switch positions 2 and 4) that deliver clear highs, well-balanced mids and tight lows, routed through five way switching and Vintage Modified #2 wiring with the Tone-Saver bleed circuit, which eliminates tone loss when volume is turned down.
Other premium features include a three-ply mint green pickguard, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners, wing string tree with tall metal spacer.
Includes Original Deluxe Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, Shop Floor Traveller and all case candy.
