Personal Thoughts:
This Shell Pink LTD Ancho Poblano Strat is a Custom Shop weapon in disguise—vintage looks, aggressive tone. The Super Heavy Relic finish is bold, full of character, and beautifully executed, giving it that well-worn, road-tested feel right out of the case.
The thick ‘51 U neck carve gives it a chunky, satisfying grip that adds sustain and punch, while the jumbo frets and 9.5" radius bring modern playability to a vintage-inspired build.
Tonally, the Ancho Poblano pickups are some of the Custom Shop’s hottest single coils—big, bold, and dynamic with loads of midrange character. They’re responsive and expressive, breaking up beautifully when pushed but still staying clear and articulate.
This is the kind of Strat that feels alive in your hands—built for players who want classic looks with a bit more bite.
Condition Report:
This 2022 Custom Shop Strat is new old stock, imported directly from our overseas supplier and has never been previously owned. The Shell Pink Super Heavy Relic finish is factory-aged and untouched since leaving Fender.
Frets are perfect, setup is smooth and low, and the electronics function flawlessly. All hardware, aging, and playability are as intended by Fender’s Custom Shop.
Includes the original Fender black tolex hardshell case, certificate of authenticity, floor traveler, and Custom Shop strap. A serious, stage-ready Strat with standout tone and a killer vintage vibe.
