Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition El Diablo '56 Strat Relic Aged Blue Flower - USA 2021
Pickup currently unavailable
Here is a Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition El Diablo Stratocaster, a bold and highly specialised take on the classic Strat platform designed for maximum output, clarity, and tonal flexibility. Built in Fender’s Custom Shop, this model showcases premium craftsmanship and a suite of performance-focused upgrades that push the Strat into more aggressive, modern territory while retaining its core identity.
This example features Custom Shop hand-wound El Diablo Strat pickups, delivering high-output tone with strong articulation, punchy mids, and a powerful, cutting edge response. It’s paired with an eight-hole raw aluminium pickguard, contributing both resonance and a distinctive tonal character. The electronics include a master volume with Tone Saver treble bleed for consistent clarity at any volume, along with a Greasebucket tone circuit on the bridge pickup to retain gain and definition while shaping highs.
The neck is crafted from quartersawn maple with a 10/56 “V” profile that transitions from a soft V at the nut into a flatter feel higher up the neck, offering both vintage comfort and modern playability. A 9.5" radius fingerboard with 21 jumbo frets ensures smooth bending, fast lead work, and comfortable rhythm playing across all positions.
Condition is excellent with only very light signs of use and everything functioning as it should. A distinctive Custom Shop Strat that combines innovative electronics, high-performance playability, and a unique visual identity. Comes complete with its original Fender Custom Shop hard case, certificate of authenticity, strap, tremolo arm, ashtray cover, and case candy.
