Fender Custom Shop GT11 Relic Stratocaster - 2-Tone Sunburst - Sweetwater Exclusive Reviews
Over the long and iconic history of Fender Custom Shop, thousands of Stratocaster variations have been produced. None are like this one. The GT11 starts with a lightweight, roasted ash body and a roasted AAA flamed maple neck for a very open and balanced tone. With the 11-inch-radius fingerboard, the GT11 provides a playing surface that inspires and delivers more speed and precision. Add in three custom-wound Sweet ’64 pickups with the Half Blender switching system and Fat ’50s wiring, and you’ve got a premium guitar for any style of music. Topping off the feature-laden GT11 is an updated tremolo with improved string spacing and vintage staggered pole tuning machines. The Relic’d body and neck combined with Closet Classic hardware give the GT11 Stratocaster a vintage, worn-in look and feel with precision performance.

Impressive Custom Shop Build
I'm taking time to write this review because of how impressed I am with this guitar and the experience of working with the guys at Sweetwater. I own several custom shop Strats but this may be one of the best custom shop builds I've seen and that is saying a lot. This build is something special. The specs from Sweetwater are something I would have picked. The guitar is ultra light and the tone is amazing. Very happy with the purchase and will be coming back to Sweetwater for my next one. Thank you George Deng for amazing customer service. Great job guys on this build spec. Its something special.
Killer Strat!! Exceeds Expectations!
This one is now my number one Strat. I Love the light relic and the neck is super fast! I have the Custom Shop bug now.

Get One If You Can!
Love this guitar..the pickups sound great, the blender to get the neck and bridge together is a great idea and the neck-
WOW!--it just feels like one of those guitars that's an old friend. Ash body is light but at the same time feels really "solid" and well made.
As always Brad helped me out with taking care of getting everything right-went with the Sweetwater PLEK service on this one and it was well worth the extra $ to me--played fantastic right out of the case.
Thanks Sweetwater & Brad--this one's a keeper.....
It's worth it!
There are several reasons I finally pulled the trigger on getting a Fender Custom Shop guitar.
1. Truss rod location is now easily accessible
2. Narrower string spacings
3. Flatter fretboard radius 11"
Bonus:
4. Roasted flame maple neck!
5. Roasted body!
6. Light weight
The pickups sound absolutely amazing! Blender Tone knob is a nice touch, too! I'm beyond impressed... extremely happy with this guitar.
Thank you Sweetwater for exclusively specking out a Fender Custom Shop guitar that fits my guitar playing idiosyncrasies. Well worth it!
