Fender Custom Shop Custom Deluxe Stratocaster

About the Fender Custom Shop Custom Deluxe Stratocaster

The Custom Deluxe is a Custom Shop Strat tied to no vintage year, with a two-point tremolo, locking tuners and a contoured neck heel. Dated examples run from 2009 to 2026, and the spec changed.

Examples from 2009 to 2011 have a '65 C neck with a vintage-tinted nitro finish, staggered Schaller locking tuners, a no-load tone control, 22 narrow-tall 6105 frets on a 9.5 inch radius and solid stainless steel saddles, with hand-wound '69 pickups in the neck and middle and a Texas Special at the bridge. On many 2009 to 2012 examples the pickups carry their winder's initials or signature. From 2012 to 2015 they have a figured maple top, usually quilted, over ash, alder or okoume; the 2012 ones add a urethane finish, a satin large C neck, pearl-button tuners and Greasebucket tone controls. Recent limited editions have a two-piece ash body in NOS or Heavy Relic nitro, hand-wound Fat '60s pickups, Vintage Modified #2 wiring with a treble bleed and a Custom Classic bridge. The Relic HB S-1 has two '69 single coils, a bridge humbucker and an S-1 switch.

The '65 C neck is specified at 0.820 inch at the first fret and 0.974 inch at the 12th; measured necks run about 0.79 to 0.89 inch and 0.93 to 1.0 inch. Weighed examples come in at about 7.3 to 8.4 lb (3.3 to 3.8 kg). Most come in a black hardshell case with a certificate, strap and cable, many with the floor traveler. Owners sometimes add new harnesses, a bridge humbucker or mid-boost circuits.
