Fender Custom Shop 1957 Stratocaster Heavy Relic Dakota Red
Item: FE9231002796
Based on the 2011 Namm Show '57 Heavy Relic Stratocaster with anodized pick guard and gold parts, we capped this off with what we feel is the most comfortable neck shape ever produced and added large 6100 frets.
The Fender Custom Shop has duplicated my personal '56 Strat neck dimensions perfectly. In my 40 years of dealing with vintage Fender guitars I have never seen this shape on any other Fender neck. It's a little slimmer than most at the first fret and has a really even taper going up the neck. I had the neck refretted in 1973 with large frets which were popular at the time. And since that time everyone that plays it says why can't Fender make a neck that feels and plays like that now. Well they can and here it is.
