{"product_id":"1969-stratocaster-relic","title":"2012 1969 Stratocaster Relic","description":"\u003cp\u003eHave you ever felt that modern guitars just can’t quite capture that deep, rich, and crisp sound of the Large Head models played by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Ritchie Blackmore?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The harmonics unique to the large headstock, and the sustain provided by the rounded fingerboard. Recreating the tone of that turbulent era—1969—is no small feat. Simply mimicking the shape won’t produce that soul-stirring resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e A quarter-century after the Custom Shop’s founding, our team of master craftsmen has poured their collective expertise into creating the 2012 1969 Stratocaster Relic. A meticulously selected quarter-sawn maple neck transmits string vibrations to the body with zero loss, promising a direct, visceral response to the player.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The standout feature is the hand-wired pickup by legendary craftswoman Abigail Ibara. Now that she has retired, this vintage sound—with its rich depth and lustrous tone—is a treasure that is increasingly difficult to obtain. From the CBS logo and F-key to the character imparted by the relic finish, every detail is crafted to a standard that surpasses the original.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Guitars equipped with Abigail Ibara’s pickups are becoming increasingly rare on the market year after year. This is a 2012 model, from a period when the Custom Shop had reached its peak of maturity. If you miss out on this, who knows when you’ll next encounter such awe-inspiring power—recognizable the moment you hear it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e To those of you searching for a Large Head that will last a lifetime: please plug this guitar directly into your amp and experience its substantial look and brilliant high-end tones for yourself. It will surely open a new chapter in your guitar-playing journey.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 【SPEC】\u003cbr\u003eBODY: Selected Alder\u003cbr\u003eNECK: Hard Maple Quarter-Sawn\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eP.U.: Abby's Hand-Wound 1969 Strat\u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT: 3.66 kg\u003cbr\u003eNUT WIDTH: 41.7\u003cbr\u003eLong-scale neck\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Includes original hard case and COA\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e *Thoroughly set up in-house with a 5-year adjustment warranty \u003cbr\u003e*Please feel free to contact our staff for more details about this item. \u003cbr\u003e*We offer high buyback prices for items purchased from our store.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Sales Representative: Matsui\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vVK1X9TlEc4?si=0VTQvWaQt5nzOlsX\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49732120707309,"sku":"102721","price":605000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1321\/3933\/files\/2012-1969-stratocaster-relic-4055084.jpg?v=1774788201","url":"https:\/\/tcgakki.com\/en\/products\/1969-stratocaster-relic","provider":"TC楽器 - TCGAKKI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
