The Music Zoo Masterbuilt Ultimate Relic Stratocaster is one of those Stratocaster relics that has been described as one of the best guitars around.  The guitar was designed by both Music Zoo and the Fender Custom Shop, so you know it’s going to be a quality instrument.  It was designed to be the ultimate in feel and tone, and it has a number of unique features.  The Ultimate Relic Stratocaster is available in a number of different colors, reissue years, and is master built by either Jason Smith or John Cruz of the Fender Custom Shop.  The finishes, which include three-color starburst, sea foam green, daphne blue, and coral pink, are all done in heavy relic thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

The Ultimate Relic Stratocaster features either a select alder or a premium ash body, depending on what color and finish you want.  It also includes a maple neck in an oval “C” shape with 21 Dunlop 6105 narrow jumbo frets, a Madagascar rosewood fingerboard that has a 9.5 inch radius, and three custom wound 60s single-coil Start pickups.  Two master volume controls let you control neck and middle pickup.  The instrument also features five pickup switching, nickel and chrome hardware, and an American vintage synchronized tremolo bridge.  The various unique features on this relic include the fingerboard, the oval “C” neck, and the artificial wear and tear that makes it looks like the Stratocaster has been around for decades.
