Provenance

Why this one made the wall

We specced this 1961 Stratocaster with the Fender Custom Shop as a Heavy Relic HSS, finished in Surf Green over Chartreuse Sparkle. The sparkle coat sits under the green, so it shows through wherever the relic wear cuts in.

The bridge is routed for a humbucker and carries a Throbak SLE-101 Plus in aged nickel. The neck and middle positions are hand-wound '60s Strat single-coils under parchment covers, with a reverse-wound middle and no tone control on the middle pickup.

The neck is roasted quartersawn maple with a '60 oval C, .790" at the first fret and .930" at the twelfth, on a 7.25" to 9.5" compound radius. Round at the nut for chords, flatter up high for bends. The AAA rosewood slab board was sorted for dark colour and carries medium jumbo frets.

Two-piece alder body sorted for light weight, nitro throughout. 7 lb 14 oz.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses our bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Our tech's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Yes, in Canada and the US. Buyers in both countries can choose Shop Pay Installments as the payment method at checkout, and Canadian buyers can also choose PayPlan by RBC. The exact terms come from the provider and are shown to you before you agree to anything.

Financing never changes the price of the guitar. More on Financing.
