About Custom Shop Stratocasters

The Fender Custom Shop in Corona, California builds Stratocasters the way the originals were built, then goes further: period-correct reissues of the '50s, '60s, and '70s icons, aged through NOS, Closet Classic, Journeyman, Relic, and Heavy Relic treatments, plus limited editions and Masterbuilt instruments signed by the builder. Wood selection, hand-wound pickups, and nitro lacquer finishes separate these from production Strats, and no two aged guitars are quite alike. Our Custom Shop selection is one of the deepest anywhere and rotates constantly; the finish checking and wear you see photographed belong to the exact guitar you'll receive.

Why Buy at Righteous Guitars

How to Choose a Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster

Start with the neck profile, fret size, pickup voice, and finish package. A great Custom Shop Stratocaster should match how you play, not just the era or color you like.

Neck Profile and Feel

Compare the neck shape, depth, fretboard radius, and fret size first. These details usually matter more than the color or relic level once the guitar is in your hands.

Pickup Voice

Some Custom Shop pickups lean glassy and vintage; others are wound hotter or voiced for more midrange. Ask us to compare specific guitars if you are chasing a particular sound.

Relic, NOS, and Finish Style

Relic level affects the look and feel, but it should support the guitar rather than distract from it. We can help compare finish packages across current inventory.

Frequently asked questions

What do the Custom Shop aging levels mean?

NOS (New Old Stock) looks like it just left the factory decades ago, untouched. Closet Classic adds light checking and minimal wear. Journeyman shows honest play wear, Relic goes further with visible dings and worn finish, and Heavy Relic looks like fifty years of bar gigs. The aging is cosmetic; the guitars are new.

What makes a Showcase Dealer different?

Showcase Dealers carry one of the largest Fender Custom Shop selections and get access to limited runs and Masterbuilt instruments that smaller dealers can't order. It means our stock comes directly from the Custom Shop's best output.
