Fender Custom Shop Strat Pro NAMM 2025 Aged Vintage White/Relic

This Strat is built for players who love the look and feel of a well-worn classic, but want refined performance and tone that keeps up with modern demands.

Built around a lightweight 2-piece alder body and finished in a beautifully worn Relic nitro lacquer, this 2025 NAMM Stratocaster Pro blends vintage vibe with thoughtful modern upgrades that today’s players will appreciate.

One of the most noticeable tweaks is the polished steel two-point tremolo bridge, complete with polished block saddles. If you’ve ever caught your palm on traditional height screws (hello, cheese grater), you’ll love the smoother feel here - it's a small detail that makes a big difference. The two-post trem also brings improved tuning stability and a more fluid, modern feel compared to the vintage six-screw design. A few of our favorite touches:


1. ’60s Oval C neck (.79–.93"), with a subtly tapered carve—slightly flatter near the nut, then rounding out as you move up the board. Just like a great vintage Strat.


2. Hand-wound '65 pickups in the neck and middle, paired with a '69 in the bridge - a smart move that adds extra warmth and punch to the bridge position without losing clarity.
