$6,500.00
This is a very rare 2004 Fender® Custom Shop Relic® Stratocaster Limited Edition 1956 50th Anniversary in custom color Metallic Gold (looks like Aztec Gold IMO) with all the papers and case candy. I say rare because I can't find one listed or sold anywhere and with only up to 100 every being produced, I can see why..The 2004 Fender Custom Shop 50th Anniversary Relic Stratocaster in Metallic Gold is a special limited-edition guitar commemorating the Strat's anniversary, often modeled after specific vintage years (like a '56 or '60) with a relic'd finish, gold hardware, gold anodized pickguard, Custom Shop pickups, and a maple neck/fretboard, offering authentic vintage specs with modern playability and a distinctive worn look. Key Features:Commemorative: Part of the 50th Anniversary celebration for the Fender Stratocaster.Custom Shop: Hand-built by Fender's elite Custom Shop, often featuring master builders.Relic Finish: Deliberately aged and worn for a vintage feel and look, with subtle checking.Metallic Gold: A distinctive, rare color finish created specifically for the Anniversary Ed.Gold Hardware: Includes gold-plated bridge, tuners, and other hardware.Gold Anodized Pickguard: A classic vintage touch, often part of the relic treatment.Vintage Specs: Replicates specific years (e.g., '56 or '60) with features like soft "V" or "C" necks, maple fretboards, and period-correct pickups (like Custom Shop 50s or 60s single-coils).Limited Edition: A highly collectible model. Per Fender's instrument support only 79 were built in this color and configuration but said the number could be as high as 100Variations:While some were standard limited runs (like the '56-style), others were even rarer, such as specific NAMM models or those signed by Fender executives like Bill Carson.Specs varied slightly by the specific model year it was emulating (e.g., '56 vs. '60), affecting neck profile and electronics. These guitars are highly sought after by collectors and players for their unique aesthetics, premium build, and authentic vintage vibe, making them special pieces in the Fender Custom Shop's history.
