The best in sound quality
The classic Strat sound. Three hand-wound Custom Shop Dual-Mag Strat Pickups, painstakingly crafted specifically for the sound of this model, deliver vintage, sparkling Stratocaster tones with edge, bite, and razor-sharp definition.
You've never known a Stratocaster with crystal-clear clarity like the Dual-Mag Relic. The calibrated pickup trio includes a combination of unbeveled alnico 5 magnets and beveled alnico 2 magnets. Put simply, what the two magnet types result in is unparalleled consistency and balance of tone. Each and every note you play will cut through a mix with pin-point precision and clearness.
Intricate Greasebucket Tone Circuit
Fender's most intuitive tone control. Your playing will always benefit from clean, flawless tone. The Dual-Mag Strat features Fender's brilliant Greasebucket Tone Circuit, designed to give you perfect, untarnished sound at any frequency. Rolling off high frequencies will instantly add definition and emphasis to the lower ones you play, and vice versa. It feels like the Fender Dual-Mag actively helps you find the tone that you're looking for. The ultimate companion for any guitarist.
The coolest Strat ever
A thing of beauty. You won't be able to take your eyes off this guitar once you've got it in your hands. Fender have taken the Stratocaster aesthetic to the next level with this model. A dark, daring black-on-black body is extremely striking. Then there's the finish. The Dual-Mag Relic lives up to its title, appearing like a time-worn, played-in relic of a golden age of rock and roll. Add a roasted maple neck to all of this, giving the instrument a darkened, distinctive aesthetic, and the result is a work of art.
The warmest tones you'll ever hear
The neck is not just an aesthetic choice. While it may stand out and afford the guitar a glamorous, aged image, there's functionality behind its selection, too. Roasting the maple offers incredible warmth in tone not possible without the roasting process. This arms you with a collection of warm, defined tones saturated with depth.
Furthermore, the process achieves increased resonance and stability in comparison with other, non-roasted guitar necks. This is a wonderful example of Fender's Custom Shop attention-to-detail, where extra thought has gone into the instrument's composition to provide you with a complete, flawless playing experience. Couple the roasted maple neck with a delightfully-smooth rosewood fingerboard, and the guitar becomes a flawless example of playing comfort and richness in tone. A joy to play.
Maximum sound
Extreme strength for lasting tune and amazing sound. The Dual-Mag Relic comes fully-equipped with a supremely durable bone nut to preserve your tuning, protect your strings, and maximise your sound quality.
A good nut material should be as strong as possible. Bone has been the industry-standard in high-quality guitar manufacture for decades, and remains as popular as ever owing to the fact that it is, simply, the best in the business. A super-strong bone nut means your tuning will remain perfect for longer, allowing you to play on and on without the hassle of constantly having to fiddle with your tuning pegs to stay in tune.
Furthermore, a tighter, sturdier nut allows for maximum transfer of sound energy to the neck and top of your guitar, creating a fuller, clearer, meatier sound. Banish limitations and play your music in perfect tune and full voice.
Strong, long-lasting hard case included
The Fender Roasted Relic is built to last. An instrument with such a beautifully vintage look and feel is designed to last generations. But it still needs protection. Fortunately, the Dual-Mag Strat includes a hard-wearing, durable Fender hardshell case at no extra cost. Feel confident to take your glorious instrument wherever you like, knowing it's safe and protected. The hardshell case is strong enough to withstand the heaviest of touring schedules.
