Fender Custom Shop Limited Heavy Relic Mischief Maker

General

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Heavy Relic Mischief Maker is a fun Strat/Tele hybrid with plenty of battle scars that have been artificially applied to give it an authentic vintage look. In the '60s there was often a shortage of plain coloured Stratocaster bodies, and Fender solved this problem by painting over Sunburst finished versions. The Mischief Maker looks like it came straight from that period, as the 3-Color Sunburst lacquer peeps out from under the Olympic White finish in places where the 'damage' is the worst. In short, this American-made guitar is a real eye-catcher and a true work of art.

Heavy Relic Mischief Maker: versatile sound

A Fender Strat is always a highly versatile instrument, but the Heavy Relic Mischief Maker takes that up a notch. Underneath its vintage exterior, you'll find that it's a highly modern guitar. For instance, it features a Greasebucket tone circuit and a Blender neck pickup control, resulting in seven possible pickup combinations that you can further fine-tune to suit your style. It also offers excellent playing comfort, thanks to its tinted birdseye maple neck with 21 jumbo frets and a V profile. What's more, it's actually a Telecaster neck that's connected to a Stratocaster body!

Custom Shop Limited Edition

With its Limited Edition series, the Fender Custom Shop offers top-quality instruments for a very short period of time only. They are all highly desirable electric guitars or basses that have an authentic look and feel, and would be a great investment or addition to any musical instrument collection. These guitars possess many characteristics that are only found on Master-built instruments and certain exclusive Artist versions, making them very desirable works of art. Of course, all guitars in this series come with a case and a certificate of authenticity.
