Seller's description

Fender Custom Shop ’61 Stratocaster – Heavy Relic Black “Suphrel” – John Mayer Specification made in 2023. This is a seriously special Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster, built in the spirit of the early ’60s instruments but with a more contemporary, player-focused specification.

This particular example has seen only a few hours of careful home use and remains in excellent condition. It has been professionally set up and plays beautifully, with a lovely soft action and no issues whatsoever. The heavy Relic finish is, of course, part of the original Custom Shop specification rather than wear accumulated through use. It comes complete with all of its original paperwork, including the Shop Floor Traveller and Certificate of Authenticity, together with the original brown Tolex case and gold bridge cover. The original Custom Shop specification follows the classic early ’60s Stratocaster recipe, with a select two-piece alder body finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer. The neck is a particularly appealing ’60s-style oval “C” profile, finished in smooth nitrocellulose lacquer and paired with a beautiful AAA slab-laminated rosewood fingerboard. The 9.5" fingerboard radius and 21 narrow-tall 6105 frets give the guitar a wonderfully comfortable playing feel, particularly for players who enjoy expressive bends and a more modern approach to a vintage-style Strat. The original Fender Custom Shop hand-wound ’65 single-coil pickups are included with the guitar. However, this example has been taken in a rather more adventurous direction and is currently fitted with a Seymour Duncan “Everything Axe” set. As the name suggests, this is
