Inside and out, the ’60 Stratocaster Relic guitar is a detailed recreation of its Kennedy-era ancestor.
It features an alder body, ’60s C-shaped maple neck, and—for the first time in its history—a smaller truss rod and slab laminated rosewood fingerboard with clay dot markers. The pickup design is faithful to the original right down to the materials and winding, producing a characteristically smooth and glassy tone. Under the hood, we’ve even replicated the finish undercoating and the crude pickup-wiring routing in the body.
This guitar has been given our “Relic” treatment—built to show years of natural wear and tear; with nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts.
