This Fender MIM Stratocaster is an absolute gem. It was relic’d by a professional luthier who used to handle relic work for a music shop in San Diego, and you can tell — the attention to detail is incredible. The satin red finish looks and feels naturally worn in, giving it that authentic vintage vibe that usually takes decades to develop.
The neck is where this guitar really shines. It’s beautifully relic’d for an amazing, broken-in feel that makes it hard to put down. The upgraded Alnico V pickups push it over the top, delivering the kind of tone you’d expect from an American Strat — crisp highs, warm mids, and that classic Stratocaster spank that cuts through a mix effortlessly.
This thing plays like a dream and sounds even better. For the price, you’re getting the tone and feel of a high-end American Strat with the added mojo of a pro relic job. If you’ve been hunting for a killer Strat that looks, feels, and sounds like a vintage treasure without the hefty price tag, this is it. Let me know if you have any questions!
