Celebrate 65 Years Of Chuck Levin's With The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Heavy Relic Stratocaster In A Sapphire Blue Transparent Finish - a Chuck Levin's Exclusive
Chuck Levin's was founded in 1958 and saw its early successes while guitars like this Stratocaster were in the showroom. Like the Fender Stratocaster, Chuck Levin's has endured and thrived for decades since and become a legend to many musicians.
To celebrate our 65th Anniversary and our shared history with Fender, Chuck Levin's has partnered with the Fender Custom Shop to bring you a collection of amazing instruments. Built just like they were back when Chuck's was just a small music shop in downtown D.C, these guitars all feature an exclusive Sapphire Blue Transparent finish as well as Fender's Heavy Relic treatment.
The Fender Custom Shop is home to Fender's most skilled and talented builders. Custom Shop builders are completely dedicated to their craft - part artisan, part artist, and part mad scientist, they are the best at what they do. They pour all of their passion, knowledge, and skill into every instrument they build. The Fender Custom Shop is no ordinary place, just like Chuck Levin's is no ordinary music store!
