Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition El Diablo '56 Strat Relic Aged Blue Flower - USA 2021

Introducing the Custom Shop Limited Edition El Diablo Strat, a guitar that beckons with its devilish allure, designed to cut through any musical mix with unparalleled menace. This exclusive model boasts Custom Shop hand-wound El Diablo Strat pickups, meticulously calibrated for optimal output and imbued with the signature fiery Fender tone. Complementing these pickups is an eight-hole raw aluminium pickguard, renowned for its sonic resonance, which contributes to the guitar's dynamic and powerful tonal character.

Crafted for both versatility and control, the El Diablo Strat features innovative enhancements. The master volume control incorporates Fender's Tone Saver Treble Bleed, ensuring that your guitar's full spectrum of tones remains articulate and clear at any volume level. Meanwhile, the bridge pickup is equipped with Fender's Greasebucket tone control circuit, which preserves full gain integrity across all settings. The quartersawn maple neck boasts a 10/56 “V”-shaped profile that subtly transitions from a “Soft V” at the nut to a flatter contour as you ascend the neck, offering comfort and playability. Enhancing playability further, the fingerboard hosts 21 6100 jumbo frets and a modern 9.5” radius, perfectly suited for both lead and rhythm playing styles.

Presented in excellent condition, the Custom Shop Limited Edition El Diablo Strat is not just a guitar, but a pinnacle of craftsmanship and sonic innovation, ready to inspire and empower musicians with its distinctive character and performance prowess.

Comes in its original Fender HSC with COA, Fender strap, ashtray, tremolo bar and Fender Custom Shop catalogue.
