This 2025 Fender Custom Shop '60 Stratocaster GT11 Heavy Relic in Aged Tahitian Coral is a just-traded instrument with a recorded weight of 7 lbs 7 oz. It pairs a AAA roasted flame maple neck carved into a ’60s-style Oval “C” with an 11" radius Brazilian rosewood fingerboard (GT11 spec) to create a consistently smooth feel from the nut up to the 14th fret; the combination is intended to offer effortless chording and single-note work with a slightly flatter radius than traditional Strats. The body shows Custom Shop heavy relic aging in the Aged Tahitian Coral finish, and overall fit-and-finish reflects Fender Custom Shop construction and setup standards as found on GT11 models.
Electronics are built around Custom Shop’s Mike Lewis Sweet ’64s hand-wound pickups voiced specifically for the GT11: under-wound for enhanced note separation, rounded lows, balanced mids, and clear, sparkling highs without harsh “ice-pick” treble. Controls are the player-focused modern layout — 5-way blade switch, one master volume with Fat ’50s wiring and treble-bleed, and two tone controls including a Half Blender that blends the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2; the middle pickup is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity for hum-cancelling in positions 2 and 4. This example was inspected and set up after trade-in and is ready for further play or maintenance as needed.
