What's the best way to set up our friend Robbie here to play a Hendrix classic? Well, you can start with a vintage 1963 Super Reverb and a Aged Taos Turquoise Fender Custom Shop 57' Strat. Lets just hope he doesn't bring this rig to the beach.
Those chiming tones you hear? Well we first must give mad props to our Asbury Park local pal, Robbie Butkowski for his natural players-tone... But surely, we must look at the vintage Super reverb... This a well preserved AA763 circuit dating to November of 1963. Fenders new design of an all black tolex cabinet with a silver grill cloth was the next outfit in their line of amplifiers after the Blonde tolex models from 1961-1964. This series of black panel amplifiers would be the first amps that Fender made that included their coveted spring reverb tank.
This amp features all 4 original 10" Jensen Special Design ceramic speakers plus a very rare Brown era 2 button footswitch. This amplifier has had a few coupling capacitors replaced with modern Sprague Orange drop capacitors and some resistors have been also changed. A few of the blue Mallory molded capacitors are in tact and have plenty of life left. All 5 electrolytic capacitors have also been replaced with modern Sprague Atom's. Both the output transformer and power transformer date to 1963 as well as the choke. All of the tube shields are in good shape and retain their springs. A 3 prong cord has been installed to help bring it to up to modern standard.
And how could we forget about the Aged Taos Turquoise beauty?
This Fender Custom Shop ’57 Stratocaster Heavy Relic begins with a two-piece alder body in a ’56 Strat body style, retaining that iconic Strat feel in hand and with a strap over the shoulder. Its lacquer body finish splashes its aged Taos Turquoise color expertly across the double-cutaway shape and is certain to catch a few eyes. This particular FCS’s Heavy Relic finish treatment bares some flashes of the alder grain underneath to give it a multi-dimensional aesthetic experience.
Tonally, this Strat comes alive with a set of unique single-coil pickups. Three handwound Tomatillo Relic’d Stratocaster single-coil pickups are loaded into this body to bring some true Strat tonality to life. The pickup landing in the middle position is designed reverse-wound, reverse polarity for added variety to the tonal spectrum possible from this Fender Custom Shop. This tone and playability are enhanced by a number of hardware specifications that can be found across the guitar. A Relic’d Custom Shop Vintage Strat tremolo bridge, a 1.650” bone nut and Vintage Fender tuning keys all come together to top off this instrument for a fully realized vintage Strat vibe. This guitar ships with a Fender Custom Shop Tweed hardshell case.
