Introducing the Fender Custom Shop LTD Roasted Dual-Mag Stratocaster Relic in Hot Rod Red, an impressive handcrafted creation from the revered Fender Custom Shop.

Its jaw-dropping specs, eye-catching Hot Rod Red finish and incredible craftsmanship combine to give this Strat an irreplaceable place in any discerning guitarist’s collection.
Premium Tonewoods
The heart of the Roasted Dual-Mag Stratocaster’s voice lies in its meticulously selected tonewoods. The body is built from roasted alder, delivering a balanced and resonant tone with pronounced upper mids and lingering sustain — attributes that have made alder the tonewood of choice for Fender since the mid-'50s.
The guitar features a roasted maple neck, which introduces an engaging crispness to the sound. The neck, constructed with a flat lam and a quarter-sawn blank, reveals a fascinating grain brought out by the roasting process and is carved to a comfortable '60s-style Oval “C” profile. Complementing the neck is an AAA Rosewood fingerboard, smooth and responsive, it invites a tactile, effortless playing experience.
Innovative Electronics
At the core of the Stratocaster’s dynamic tonal range are the hand-wound Dual-Mag Strat pickups. These unique pickups blend the bright, biting character of single coils with the warmth and fullness typically associated with humbuckers. With a Reverse Wound, Reverse Polarity (RWRP) middle pickup, they deliver tight bass, clean mids and soaring highs.
The Strat Blender control scheme lets you blend the neck pickup with the bridge and bridge/middle positions for two additional tones. The Greasebucket circuit retains the clarity of your sound as you roll down the tone, giving you a wider range of usable tones.
Relic Finish, Authentic Charm
The Nitrocellulose Relic finish adds an extra layer of authenticity to this masterpiece. Bearing the marks of time, the finish mimics the natural wear and tear of a well-loved vintage guitar, offering a tactile experience that’s satin-smooth and aesthetically captivating.
Superior Hardware
As one would expect from a Fender Custom Shop creation, the Roasted Dual-Mag Stratocaster features the highest-quality hardware. The American Vintage Strat Bridge guarantees precise intonation and steadfast tuning stability, regardless of your strumming vigour. Coupled with vintage-style tuners adorned with the Fender logo, it ensures a performance that’s both resonant and reliable.
In addition to the guitar itself, you also receive a sleek Fender Custom Shop hard case and a certificate of authenticity.
