The GT11 Stratocaster goes way beyond great — you’ll feel an immediate personal connection to this guitar. The 11-inch radius AAA maple fingerboard makes everything effortless. Play a chord by the nut or play a few licks at the 14th fret; it all feels the same — smooth and incredible. And the AAA roasted flamed maple neck features a ’60s-style Oval “C” shape that fills your hand perfectly, no matter where you’re playing. When we first got our hands on the GT11 here at Sweetwater, we were amazed at what a difference the 11-inch radius made — especially for players who were used to a radius wider than the traditional Strat.The Holy Grail of Strat tones is right here Trying to create the ultimate Strat pickup is no easy task, but Fender Custom Shop’s Mike Lewis pulled it off nicely with his Sweet ’64s. Voiced especially for the GT11, these hand-wound pickups deliver a full-range sound with fat, round lows, sparkling highs, balanced mids, and zero icepick frequencies. The pickups are under-wound, giving you unparalleled note separation and clarity. When we ran the GT11 Strat through its paces, we plugged into everything from vintage amps to high-end boutique models to uber-high-gain monsters, and the Sweet ’64s performed admirably through each. The search for the Holy Grail of Strat tones ends here.All the most player-requested features The GT11 Stratocaster gives you all the most player-requested features. You get a modern 5-way position blade switch, along with one volume and two tone controls. The volume boasts Fender’s Fat ’50s hookup wiring with treble bleed to avoid tone loss with volume changes. And you also get a Half Blender tone control that blends the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2, along with a master tone control. Moreover, the middle pickup is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity for hum-free operation in switch positions 2 and 4.Relic’d finish and hardware are packed with vintage appeal The GT11 Stratocaster is a classic Strat all the way through. Its roasted alder body sports a relic’d nitro finish, for the look of a vintage guitar that’s been played lovingly for decades. Many guitar aficionados like the Relic look, but a larger number of players get these guitars because they feel so comfortable and broken in. While the Relic look naturally calls for distressed hardware, many players prefer the smoother feel of Fender’s Closet Classic hardware for a slightly aged, vintage look. The GT11 Strat looks and feels like a well-worn instrument that will be comfortable and familiar right off the bat.Fender Custom Shop GT11 Heavy Relic Stratocaster Features: Handcrafted by Fender Custom Shop luthiers — available only at Sweetwater!
