Dear all,
I have just got a 2005 '60 stratocaster relic and related COA and accessories.
How could I get the technical specs of this guitar (pups, radius, weight, etc.)?
I am also wondering if it is possible to get some info about the "1960 stratocaster relic" during the years (when did CS introduce it, when it was dismisses...).

Last question :D ... In some COA the word "relic" is followed by the "r" of registered mark, in others not. Is there a reason?
Thank u
Mario

Fender's Consumer Relations can probably provide the specs for your guitar -- merely submit its serial number and they'll pass along all pertinent records. The CS instruments vary from model to model and you may have to actually open yours up to learn all the particulars regarding the pickups. And Fender does not typically provide the weight so you'll need to put in on a scale to determine that info. Wood density is very inconsistent even within the same tree and that's the only accurate method I know of.

On an unrelated note, post some photos of your guitar -- I know we'd all love to see it.

I think I haven't got the permission to post pics, yet... :shock:

Probably I should upload in a public storage.

Your images need to be stored on a remote service such as Photobucket or Flickr. Then merely post the links that they provide for each of your pics.
