Fender LTD Custom 62 Strat Relic AB

Fender LTD Custom 62 Strat Relic AB: technical overview

The Fender LTD Custom 62 Strat Relic AB is a limited Custom Shop Stratocaster made in the USA. Its listed specifications point to a traditional ST-style layout, with an ash body, three single-coil pickups, a five-way switch, and a synchronized tremolo. The guitar has a Relic finish in Aged Black and comes with a case and certificate.

There are no customer reviews available for this product. This assessment is therefore based only on the supplied specifications. Some listing details conflict, so those points are flagged rather than treated as settled facts.

Body, finish, and hardware

The body is specified as ash, with no separate top. Its Aged Black Relic finish gives the guitar a deliberately aged appearance, though the listing does not describe the extent or placement of the finish wear. A three-ply black pickguard completes the stated body configuration.

The hardware includes a six-saddle, vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent-steel saddles and vintage-style tuning machines. The listing also specifies Nickel Closet Classic hardware. It does not provide a separate bridge material or further details about the tremolo's setup, so those cannot be assessed from the available data.

Although the brief specifications field says "Tremolo: None," the detailed feature list explicitly names a six-saddle synchronized tremolo. These entries disagree. Buyers should confirm the bridge configuration with Fender or the retailer before ordering, especially if the presence of a tremolo is a deciding factor.

Neck, fingerboard, and playability specifications

The bolt-on neck is maple, with a '60s Oval C profile. The scale length is 648 mm, also listed as 25.51 inches, and the fingerboard radius is 305 mm, or 12 inches. The guitar has 21 jumbo frets. These measurements describe the construction, but they do not establish how the instrument feels in hand. No setup measurements, fret dimensions, or neck thickness figures are included.

The fingerboard material is inconsistent across the supplied data. The general specification table says maple, while the detailed description lists AAA flamed rosewood. Those are different materials, and the discrepancy cannot be resolved from the information provided. Confirm the fingerboard material directly before purchase.

Pickups and controls

The pickup system is SSS, meaning three single-coil pickups. More specifically, the detailed description names three Custom Shop Fat '60s Strat single-coil pickups. The wiring is identified as Vintage Modified Strat #2, with a five-way switch. The listing does not explain the switching positions or describe the tonal differences between them, so it would be speculative to make claims about particular sounds.

The combination of three single coils and five-way switching follows the stated Stratocaster format. The pickup model and wiring name provide useful identification, but the supplied information does not include output measurements, component values, or a control-by-control diagram.

Included items, availability, and purchase details

The guitar is listed as available since August 2025, with item number 601353. It is identified as a limited LTD 2024 run. The title and product details identify the model as the Fender LTD Custom 62 Strat Relic AB; the broader model designation is Stratocaster, with an ST-style body shape.

A case and certificate are included. The brief table says "Including Case: Yes" and "incl. Bag: No," while the detailed description also confirms a case. No gig bag is listed. The stated price is 5998, but the supplied data does not identify a currency, so the figure should not be read as a confirmed amount in any particular currency.

Assessment

The documented specification highlights are the ash body, maple bolt-on neck, 21 jumbo frets, three Custom Shop Fat '60s single coils, Vintage Modified Strat #2 wiring, and Relic Aged Black finish. The case and certificate are included, and the instrument is identified as a USA-made Custom Shop model.

The conflicting fingerboard and tremolo entries are material purchase questions, not details to assume away. Confirm both with the seller, along with the price currency and the exact condition or extent of the Relic finish. With no customer feedback or hands-on measurements supplied, this review can describe the listed construction, but it cannot verify setup, sound, feel, or finish execution.
