‘56 Stratocaster® Relic The ’56 Stratocaster Relic guitar incorporates many unique details from one of the most sought-after and collectable Strats ever made—it features a 10/56 neck, two-piece alder body and single-ply pickguard. We’ve even recreated tooling holes and marks made during the original production process! 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.
