Heavy relic in Coral Pink! Check out this gorgeous Fender Custom Shop ’62 Strat from Jason Smith if you’re looking for the real relic’d deal. Fender’s Smith built this beauty in 2009 with a custom heavy relic job in mind—and it sports the kind of play wear, exposed Alder, and glossy setup, that we’d expect from a dyed-in-the-wool road warrior. Coral Pink sets off the Maple neck and pickguard perfectly. The pickups are Custom Shop 60 Strat Relics with coffee white relic’d volume and tone knobs.
Here’s a note from Fender about custom shop builder Jason Smith: “Rock music and Fender are part of his DNA. Smith joined the Fender Custom Shop in 1995, and in 2006 completed a five-year apprenticeship under acclaimed Senior Master Builder John English. Among many diverse projects with English, Smith worked on a pair of double-neck Stratocaster guitars for Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean DeLeo. He has since crafted fine instruments for players and acts including John 5, Michael Landau, Flea, Josh Klinghoffer, Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, Reggie Hamilton, Linkin Park, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Neon Trees and many others.”
