Excellent condition, as new. All of the wear on this guitar is Andy Hicks' Heavy Relic work. It comes with its original brown Fender Custom Shop hardshell case, all of the original case candy, the certificate of authenticity and the Custom Shop shop traveler. 7 lb 8 oz.
A classic Lauzon spec, and one we ordered ourselves. Masterbuilder Andy Hicks built it at the Fender Custom Shop as a '63 Strat in Heavy Relic, colour over colour: Sea Foam Green over 3-Color Sunburst, in lacquer on a two-piece alder body.
The neck is roasted quartersawn maple in Dark Tint, carved to a '59 Esquire "C" that measures .790" at the first fret and .970" at the twelfth. It carries a round-laminated AAA rosewood board with a 9.5" radius, 21 medium jumbo frets, clay dots and a 1.650" bone nut.
Pickups are a set of Hand-Wound Fat '60s single-coils with a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle, on Strat Modern wiring.
