Personal Thoughts:
This Special Relic ’63 Strat is a sweet spot in the Custom Shop range—vintage tone and looks, but with that modern feel that makes it a joy to play. The Ebony Finish has mellowed just enough with the relic treatment to look like a well-loved original, and the rosewood board adds warmth and balance to the sound. What makes this Special is that cool three tone undercoat which is quite a costly expense at the CS but they did a great job with this one.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition with only minor signs of handling. No major dings or wear beyond the intended relic treatment. Frets are clean with little to no playwear. Includes original case, COA, and all original accessories.
