A well-loved look
The relic finish on the Fender Custom Shop '67 is a defining feature that sets it apart from other guitars. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the guitar a distinct vintage appearance that looks well-worn and aged. This treatment further adds to the unique character by simulating years of use, complete with scratches, dents, and wear marks. Each guitar has its own unique relic pattern, making each one truly one-of-a-kind.
Not only does this enhance the visual appeal but can also affect its sound. This treatment can make the wood more resonant, which can improve the overall tone of the guitar. The process of aging the guitar also removes some of the stiffness in the wood, which can make it easier to play. An aesthetically appealing model, perfect choice for guitarists who are looking for a vintage-inspired instrument with modern features and superior quality.
