I Bought a Fender CUSTOM SHOP Heavy Relic Strat! | The Story Behind: Candy

This is the story about how I went on to acquire this 2021 Fender Custom Shop Candy Apple Red Stratocaster. One of my biggest purchases to date is the red heavy relic Stratocaster sitting behind me in a lot of my videos.

Within the video I talk about the appeal of the Custom Shop, the controversial dynamic around relics, whether I like it or not, regret it or recommend it after 2.5 years of owning it.
Also, at the end of the video, stay tuned for an original song, "Essence of the Night", which was written largely on this guitar during the making and editing of this video. It's my first song I have posted on here since 'Something We Want Someday' with my high school band, Distant Craze.

Let me know your thoughts on the guitar, relics, the custom shop and more.
