Black & Pink Relic Stratocaster Style Guitar

The Black & Pink Relic Stratocaster Style Guitar combines classic Strat-inspired specifications with one of the most distinctive distressed finishes in the range.

A heavily aged black outer finish reveals vivid pink colouring beneath, with worn areas around the edges and contours creating a dramatic multi-layered relic effect. The bright pink contrasts sharply against the black body, while a pale mint-style pickguard, cream SSS pickups and aged-style controls give the guitar an unmistakably vintage-inspired appearance.

With three single-coil pickups, a five-way selector and traditional tremolo bridge, this model retains the familiar versatility of a classic Strat-style electric guitar while offering a much more unconventional visual identity.

Black Over Pink Heavy Relic Finish

The most distinctive element of this guitar is its black and pink distressed finish.

Large areas of black dominate the front of the body, while bright pink appears underneath and around the worn edges. Further distressed sections reveal lighter natural-looking tones, creating the appearance of several layers of finish having been worn away over time.

The deliberately uneven wear extends around the body contours, giving the guitar the appearance of an extensively played vintage instrument rather than a uniformly painted modern guitar.

Vivid Pink Undercoat

Unlike conventional black relic guitars, this model uses bright pink as the contrasting colour underneath the darker outer finish.

That combination dramatically changes the character of the instrument. From a distance it has the aggressive appearance of a black Strat, while closer inspection reveals large areas of vivid pink around the edges and underneath the distressed black surface.

This gives the guitar a particularly distinctive identity for players looking for something outside traditional relic colour combinations.

Classic Strat-Inspired Double-Cutaway Body

Beneath the unusual finish is the familiar Strat-style double-cutaway body.

Its contoured shape, pronounced horns and traditional component layout retain the recognisable proportions of a classic Strat-inspired electric guitar.

The combination works particularly well here: a familiar vintage guitar shape paired with a finish that looks anything but conventional.

Mint-Style Pickguard & Cream Appointments

A pale mint-green-style pickguard creates a strong visual break between the dark body and the electronics.

The three pickups use aged cream covers, with matching cream control knobs and selector switch tip continuing the vintage-inspired theme.

These lighter appointments contrast particularly well against the black body while complementing the deliberately aged appearance of the instrument.

Traditional SSS Pickup Configuration

Three single-coil pickups provide the classic SSS arrangement.

The five-way pickup selector offers the familiar selection of individual and combined pickup positions, making the guitar suitable for a broad variety of sounds and playing styles.

From brighter bridge-pickup sounds to warmer neck tones and characteristic combined single-coil positions, the electronics retain the versatility traditionally associated with Strat-style guitars.

Familiar Volume & Tone Controls

The guitar features the traditional one-volume and two-tone control arrangement.

Combined with its five-way pickup selector, this provides a straightforward and familiar control system without distracting from the traditional Strat-style layout.

The cream knobs also contribute to the aged aesthetic rather than introducing modern-looking black or bright white plastics.

Vintage-Style Tremolo

A chrome vintage-style tremolo bridge completes the traditional Strat-inspired hardware configuration.

The tremolo provides the option of adding vibrato and pitch movement while maintaining the familiar appearance of the classic design.

Its chrome finish contrasts against the black body and matches the output jack plate and other visible hardware.

Dark Fingerboard & Natural-Style Headstock

A dark fingerboard with dot position markers provides another strong visual contrast against the brighter pickguard and vivid pink areas.

At the top of the instrument, the natural/yellow-toned six-in-line headstock introduces another vintage-inspired element to the overall design.

A Much Darker Take on the Pink Relic Strat

Although this guitar shares its pink relic theme with the white-and-pink model, the overall effect is considerably different.

Here, the black finish is the dominant colour, creating a darker and more aggressive appearance. The pink functions as the exposed underlayer, appearing through the distressed areas and around the edges of the guitar.

It's therefore a particularly interesting option for players who like black Strat-style guitars but want something much more individual than a conventional gloss or matte finish.

Why You'll Love It

The Black & Pink Relic Stratocaster Style Guitar is designed for players who want the familiarity of a traditional Strat-style instrument with a much more individual appearance.

The combination of black over vivid pink, extensive artificial wear and lighter aged appointments creates a finish that's immediately recognisable, while the SSS pickups, five-way selector and vintage-style tremolo retain the classic Strat formula underneath.
