Holy Grail ’64 Strat Tone is Here
This isn’t just another Strat; it’s a meticulous recreation of a legend. The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’64 L-Series Stratocaster is a nod to one of the most sought-after periods in Fender history, delivering the buttery feel and iconic glassiness of a genuine mid-’60s classic. From the moment you pick it up, the expertly aged Heavy Relic nitro finish tells a story of countless gigs and sessions. It feels alive, resonant, and absolutely dialed in. The two-piece select alder body rings out with that perfect blend of piano-like lows and sweet, articulate highs, all wrapped in a stunning Aged Daphne Blue.
The Neck You Won’t Put Down
Let’s be real, the neck is where the magic happens. This one features a rock-solid rift-sawn maple construction carved into a ’63 “C” profile that feels substantial yet effortless. It’s paired with a round-laminated AAA rosewood fingerboard and a modern-vintage compound radius (7.25″-9.5″), giving you the best of both worlds. Chord work feels classic and comfortable down low, while lead lines and bends sing out cleanly in the upper register without fretting out. It’s a truly inspiring platform for any player.
Hand-Wound ’64 Tone
The soul of this Strat comes from a trio of Custom Shop Hand-Wound ’64 single-coil pickups. The middle pickup is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity for hum-cancellation in positions 2 and 4. These pickups deliver the quintessential ’64 voice: bell-like highs, a balanced and punchy midrange, and tight lows that never get muddy. The Vintage Modified #2 wiring includes a Tone-Saver treble-bleed circuit, so your tone stays crisp and clear even when you roll back the volume. It’s pure, unadulterated Stratocaster bliss.
