Our take

Who this one is for

The 1967 Stratocaster Relic with Closet Classic Hardware is a late sixties, large headstock Strat with a worn Relic finish and lighter-aged hardware, so it reads as a working guitar that was looked after. A 2-piece select alder body, a quartersawn maple neck with a '60s Oval "C" back, and a parchment-bound 3A rosewood board.

The 9.5" radius and narrow tall frets make bends cleaner than a vintage 7.25" board. Three Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special Single-Coil Strat pickups run through a 5-position blade, and the master volume has a Tone-Saver treble-bleed circuit, which keeps the highs from dulling as you turn down. One tone for the neck and middle and one for the bridge, a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo and a 3-ply parchment pickguard.

For lighter aging and vintage '66 pickups, look at the 1966 Stratocaster DLX Closet Classic. The 1969 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic closes out the decade with a "U" neck and blend wiring.

Finishes are Aged Charcoal Frost Metallic, Aged Firemist Gold, Aged Blue Ice Metallic and Aged Ocean Turquoise.

The photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from guitar to guitar, so the one built for you will differ in the details.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. After you order, we check with the supplier and email you an ETA. If it changes, we let you know, and you can cancel.

Want an estimate for this model before you order? Ask us in the chat.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

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.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
