Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Fat ’64 Stratocaster®, Relic® – Aged Candy Apple Red over Orange Sparkle(Pre-Order)
ETA:May 2025

There and back—and still here today.
The authentic worn-in wear of a guitar that has experienced many years of regular use in clubs and bars. Marks that tell a story, finish checking all over the body, and scars, dings and dents from bridge to headstock.
More about Limited Edition Fat ’64 Stratocaster® Relic®
New for 2024, the Fender Custom Shop presents the Limited Edition Fat ’64 Stratocaster Relic® in some of our most unique color combinations to date—Aged Lake Placid Blue over Purple Sparkle, Aged Aztec Gold over Gold Sparkle, Aged Candy Apple Red over Orange Sparkle and Aged Sherwood Green Metallic over Red Sparkle.
For a unique twist on a classic pairing seen more in commonly on late-‘60s Strats®, the Relic® lacquer finished two-piece select alder body is perfectly paired with a 1963 Strat® “C”-shaped 2A flame maple neck and round-laminated 2A flame maple fingerboard. A set of Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat ’64 pickups (with a RWRP middle) deliver the sought-after, articulate mid-‘60s Stratocaster® tone with a more robust low-end punch, biting midrange and crystal-clear highs.
Other premium features include 9.5″ (241 mm) radius, 21 Narrow Tall (6105) frets, Vintage Modified #2 Wiring with Tone-Saver Bleed, 5-way switch, 3-ply parchment pickguard, Custom Shop Vintage Synchronized Tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, wing string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
Limited Edition Series
Each Custom Shop Limited Edition instrument is only available for a short time, which makes it eminently collectible and adds to its investment value. Crafted with many features reserved only for certain artists and master built instruments, they are just what the name says they are: highly anticipated limited-edition models that go very quickly.
