Built in Corona, CA, this Fender Custom Shop Super Heavy Relic'd '69 Stratocaster is a FCS masterpiece that showcases the amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail offered by the Fender Custom Shop builders, while boasting incredible performance features to boot. Sorted for weight, the alder body of this Strat was hand-selected and by the builders at the Fender Custom Shop, ensuring an instrument that resonates with quality, and is also as light as possible for its size and material.

The neck of the '69 Stratocaster is made of 5/4 sawn maple, cut to a 1969 style "U" profile. This chunky and rounded neck profile, similar to a Tele's "baseball bat" style, fills the hand comfortably, creating a comfy feel that players of vintage instruments are familiar with. The fingerboard is spec'd out with 21 Medium Jumbo 6150 frets.

A key feature of sonic character of this guitar revolves around its unique pickup configuration, featuring two Fender Custom Shop Handwired '69 Strat Relic Pickups in its neck and middle positions, and a Handwired Strat Texas Special Relic pickup in its bridge. Handwired Strat pickups are designed to reproduce the full, punchy late-'60s blues rock tone, capturing the essence of one of the most iconic sounds in music history. In comparison, the Texas Special residing in the bridge sports alnico 5 magnets and enamel-coated magnet wire, making this pickup shine with crystal-clear highs, tight lows, and a crunchy midrange. The versatility of these 3 pickups is easily controlled via a Master Volume, Master Tone, and 5-way pickup selector switch.

Featuring Fender's Custom Shop "Super Heavy Relic" treatment, this Strat emulates years of being toured with, featuring areas relic'd deeply through its Aged Black finish. The '69 Strat body is worn down to wood in multiple areas, including shoulder wear and some buckle rash on the back of the body. Hand wear on the back of the neck provides a silky smooth wood finish that makes it slightly faster, and fingerboard wear showcases a guitar that's aged to perfection.

With small details including Schaller's F-Series Relic tuning machines, an American Vintage Strat Relic bridge, a '63-'67 Strat Relic pickguard, Aged White Relic knobs, and chrome hardware from top to bottom, this '69 Strat offers an eye-catching level of detail that is a staple of FCS guitars. Even the string tree, American Vintage 65+ Nylon Relic, and the Vintage Upgraded '60s Relic trem arm with an Aged White Tip showcase commitment to authenticity. Completing the package is a Custom Shop Black Hard Case, providing a secure and stylish home for this work of art.

Sound unexpectantly blasted for no reason. It malfunctioned!
I spent hours between installation and set up! I had to return it. I turned on NET (network) to play Sirius Xm and the volume was low but after a few minutes the sound turned all the way up to maximum completely on its own? This happened at least two more times. I contacted ONKYO and was told it is clearly defective and that their is no solution to correct the problem, and that I should return it immediately! I purchased the newer model and am pleased with its performance! It’s unfortunate because the first one that had the issue with the sound really played nice, but having sound change its volume so suddenly to its full capacity was not what I expected, nor felt comfortable enough to keep as I said I was told to return it, which I did! My advice here would be to purchase the newer model, which seems to be much more stable in its performance, and the quality is excellent.

Absolutely Love This Receiver
The Onkyo TX‑NR7100 has completely transformed my home theater. The sound quality is rich, detailed, and powerful, and the 9.2‑channel setup gives movies and music a level of immersion I didn’t realize I was missing. Dirac Live right out of the box is a huge win — the room correction made an immediate, noticeable improvement. Setup was smooth, the interface is clean, and everything from streaming to switching inputs feels fast and reliable. It also plays perfectly with the rest of my system, and the THX certification really shows in how cinematic everything sounds. I absolutely love this receiver. It’s one of those upgrades that makes you wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Incredible 9.2 Surround receiver at an unbeatable price.
I may return at a future date to give a more complete review, but others that are much more knowledgeable about audio equipment than I have already done so. For me, the Onkyo (Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel 8K/4K Network A/V Receiver) replaced a much older (2001) TX DS787 5.1 100 W Surround receiver that listed new for around $1050. I probably didn't pay quite that much but certainly something near $900. It was great for its time, perhaps even advanced with THX, Dolby, and other listening modes. But it didn't have: HDMI inputs or outputs, any BlueTooth capability, no hard wired or WiFi connectivity or basically any operating or connection modes that most all modern receivers have. This turned into a big problem with modern LED/LCD/OLED TVs, Alexa and other now common devices. I bought my new Onkyo TX-NR7100 from Amazon for $625. Other retailers (e.g.Best Buy) advertise it for up to $1200, so Amazon's price is outstanding. Set up was far more complicated (for me) than any previous receiver that I ever owned, mostly because there were a very large number of back panel input and output jacks, to and from the TV, as well as speaker outputs for 9.2 surround. Suffice it to say that once everything was connected properly (I made a few mistakes along the way), I was completely thrilled. The On Screen Display, completely accessible either from the front panel or the remote was far superior to anything I had ever seen before. Literally every operating parameter is accessible to the user. And I used most of them. It is also completely WiFi ready so my 150 Gbit home Wifi network lets it connect wirelessly and stream music error free. BlueTooth is also another way to connect almost any device to it for audio and audio/video playback if you connect the digital connections to and from a modern TV. It also speaks and listens to Alexa, although I must confess that I haven't played around with that much yet. This is already much longer than I had intended, so let it suffice to say that the Onkyo TX-NR7100 is an absolutely incredible receiver for an incredible price. I'd give it 8 stars if I could.

Sounds great.
Just received my Onkyo TX-NR 7100, watched a few YouTube videos before it arrived, so set up was easy. Ran accuEQ, I am getting new front speakers so I’ll wait to run Dirac. After accuEQ, I still had to make a few adjustments, to the speaker levels and especially the sub. It set my subwoofer way too low. As of right now having no problems with Bluetooth. I’ve only listened to music so far, can’t wait to watch a movie. For now I have a 5.1.2. System, getting new fronts, the Klipsch r51-m’s will go to the rear surround and Klipsch r41-m’s will be my height speakers in a 5.1.4 system. So far loving this avr. Update 2: Just calibrated with Dirac for the 6th time. They tell you if you sit in a recliner, reclined measure with it reclined. Well I measured with the chair in its upright position. It makes a huge difference I hear the surrounds much better. Btw I listen to all channel stereo, I know audiophiles say it sucks, however I listened to 2 channel stereo for 20 years, when there was nothing else. I didn’t buy a 9 channel avr to listen to 2 channel stereo. Like Randy the cheap audio man says “ audiophiles aren’t always right. If it sounds good to you, that’s all that matters.” So try calibrating in the upright position, or if you sit on a stationary chair or couch, try positioning the mic slightly forward of your listening position. It makes a huge difference. Hope this helps, enjoy. Update: Ok bought Klipsch rp-600m speakers for the front with 52c center. 51m surrounds, 41m rear heights. Polk owm3 front heights. Why Polk? Lighter easy to hang and as height speakers they are only there for atmos. Ran Dirac live, the application does what it would take several hours to make it sound like it does, if I even could get it to sound so good. Apple TV 4K with my Hisense U8K. The google tv interface is ok, but Apple TV is faster and easier. The Onkyo 7100 is a gem, runs pretty warm but I have it out in the open. If you are going to put in a cabinet I suggest a fan. Very happy with the whole system.
