Player's Perspective

Any time that Fender pumps out a limited edition piece, we take note. When it's Fender's Custom Shop that does it, we stop everything and check it out right away. Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Limited Edition 1959 Heavy Relic Stratocaster!
 
For those that love the look of a well worn-in guitar that looks like it's seen some serious stuff in its time... This is the one, right here! It looks like it's been to hell and back, but it plays like it was built by angels. But really, it can sound angelic or demonic depending on how you coax it. This is a really versatile strat and, thanks to the Texas Special pickups that were hand-wound by the Custom Shop team, you can sound great clean, but also not worry about sounding muddy with distortion. This axe can handle dirt and grit with no problem while still maintaining that vocal-like quality that we all love so much from single-coils. Think Stevie Ray Vaughan... That's what these pickups sound like.
 
The roasted maple neck is an absolute playground for your fretting hand. Combine that with some of the most precise and perfect fretwork you'll ever come across and the only limit to what you can do on this guitar is you. And that's a really great thing! The guitar will never get in your way and you'll unlock possibilities under your fingers that you may have previously thought to be out of reach.
 
This is the kind of guitar that makes you a better player and it'll also make you look like a complete bad@$$!
