Fender Custom Shop LTD 1954 Hardtail Stratocaster Super Faded Aged 2-Color Sunburst/Heavy Relic (USED, 2024)
S-Style · Single Coils Pickups · Used
This Fender Custom Shop LTD 1954 Hardtail Stratocaster pays homage to this legendary first-year model, delivering vintage feel and tone with some modern tweaks - 9 1/2" radius and 6105 frets.
The hardtail bridge enhances sustain and tuning stability, adding an almost Tele-like response, while the Super Faded Aged 2-Color Sunburst finish—applied with the Custom Shop’s Heavy Relic treatment—exudes decades of road-worn character. Every detail, from the Fat 50s pickups to the comfortable-yet-chunky 70th Anniversary neck profile (.885-.980" with a 1.625" nut), captures the essence of an original Strat from Fender’s golden era.
Built for discerning players and collectors alike, this Custom Shop creation embodies the soul of 1954 Strat - open, airy tones with an unmistakable feel, rich harmonic response, and superior craftsmanship.
Whether you're drawn to its historic significance or its pure tonal magic, this Hardtail Stratocaster is a true standout in Fender’s Custom Shop lineup.
