Built around a lightweight 7.82 lb. two-piece alder body with an original contour, this '60 Strat wears its lacquer Ultimate Relic finish like decades of honest gig wear — checked, worn, and dripping with vintage vibe — while the rare Purple Metallic over Silver Sparkle color combination makes it a genuine standout even among Masterbuilt instruments. The relic'd '61 Strat anodized pickguard and aged nickel\/chrome hardware complete the time-machine effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eUnder the hood, this Strat is pure early-'60s Fender. The 5\/4 quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable '60 Style Oval \"C\" profile (.790\" at the 1st fret, .930\" at the 12th) with a lacquer Ultimate Relic finish, a dark-sorted 3A rosewood fretboard, white micarta dot inlays, and a small '54–'60 Strat decal headstock. A 9.5\" radius, 21 medium 45085 frets, 25.5\" scale length, bone nut, and 1.650\" nut width strike the perfect balance of vintage feel and modern playability, while the 4-bolt neck joint and vintage-style synchronized tremolo with 6 bent-steel saddles deliver classic Stratocaster snap and response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe voice of this guitar comes from a trio of hand-wound 60\/63 Strat pickups — neck, RWRP middle, and bridge — wired to the traditional volume, dual tone, and 5-way selector layout for every iconic Strat sound, from bell-like neck warmth to quacky in-between positions and biting bridge twang. Masterbuilt by Andy Hicks and ready for the stage or the collection, this Fender Custom Shop '60 Stratocaster Ultimate Relic (Serial #AH0396) includes a Fender Custom Shop brown hardshell case.
