This Fender Custom Shop ’68 Stratocaster Limited Edition Black Paisley Relic Left-Handed from 2019 is a striking blend of late-60s style, Custom Shop craftsmanship, and exceptional playability.

Built with an alder body finished in an eye-catching Black Paisley design, this lefty Strat captures the spirit of 1968 while delivering the comfort and tone of a finely tuned modern instrument.

The maple neck features a comfortable ’63 “C” profile with a 9.5-inch radius and 21 frets for a smooth and familiar feel. Under the hood, a hand-wound pickup set provides a powerful tonal palette: a ’69 Strat single coil in the neck, a Fat ’50s in the middle, and a Texas Special in the bridge. Together, they deliver everything from sparkling cleans to punchy, driven tones with plenty of vintage character. The Relic finish adds authentic wear for that well-loved, played-in vibe straight from the Custom Shop.

This 2019 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster is in excellent condition and shows minimal playwear. It's hard to tell where the aging of Fender ends and where the real playwear starts. It comes in its original hardshell case with a TFOA passport.
