Angled Headstock Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets. Double-Waxed Pickups Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax. Output Jack To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel. Toggle Switches All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life. Tunomatic Bridge Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar. Potentiometers Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

Miniature Guitar of Legendary Guitarist.

1969; a year of peace, love, and awesome Strats. This is a recreation of the '69 Stratocaster in a nicely relic'd black finish, featuring an alder body, '69 U shape maple neck, a period-correct headstock shape, three '69 Stratocaster single coil pickups and Schaller tuners with the engraved Fender F. The neck shape has a nice fat feeling to it, and the three single coil pickups pump out classic Strat tone.

Perfected into its current form by 1958, the Stratocaster in that year was poised for greatness and had already found its way into the hands of several legendary artists. As a musically wild new decade loomed on the not-so-distant horizon, the already ahead-of-its-time Stratocaster was ready for anything as the 1950s wound to a rocking 'n' rolling close. The Custom Shop 1958 Relic Stratocaster evokes the first-decade glory of the model, with features including an alder body with a Relic (worn) lacquer finish in distinctive Chocolate Three-Color Sunburst, tinted one-piece maple neck with mid-'50s (10/'56) large V shape, maple fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 6105 frets, Master Design pickups with five-way switching, single-ply parchment pickguard, vintage-style hardware, blonde case and certificate of authenticity.

At the dawn of the 1960s, the Stratocaster stood poised for a wild new decade full of exciting and innovative new music. Music history beckoned as never before--sounds would be wrung from the Stratocaster in the '60s that its designers and its players of the previous decade couldn't possibly have dreamed of. The Custom Shop honors that turn-of-the-decade instrument with the 1960 Relic Stratocaster with Matching Headstock. Features include an alder body with a Relic (worn) lacquer finish, lightly tinted maple neck with large C shape and matching headstock, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 6105 frets, 1960 Stratocaster pickups with five-way switching, three-ply mint green pickguard, vintage-style hardware, wing string tree, brown hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity.

In 2007 we approached the Fender Custom Shop with an idea. We wanted the most beat-up, played-in Stratocaster we'd ever seen, and we wanted it to feel like it had been played every night for 40 years. Soon we realized that we would have to take the aging processes developed in the Custom Shop to their limits to produce what would end up being not a tribute to any famous guitarist, but a tribute to the instrument itself. The Ultimate Relic Stratocaster was born.

Check out this killer one-off San Dimas that we picked up for the Zoo at the 2012 NAMM. With its copper finish paired with the always-classic look of the matching headstock, a black pickguard, a gunstock oiled birdseye maple neck, and a set of DiMarzio humbuckers for a ripping plug-in-and-play tone. As always, the neck of this San Dimas is made to be played as fast as possible, and the locking Floyd Rose tremolo is excellent for keeping you in tune during those extreme divebombs and squeals.
