Fender Custom Shop GT11 Stratocaster Electric Guitar Demo

Over the long and iconic history of Fender Custom Shop, thousands of Stratocaster variations have been produced. None are like this one. The GT11 starts with a lightweight, roasted alder body and a roasted AAA flame maple neck for a very open and balanced tone. With the all-new and Sweetwater-exclusive 11"-radius fingerboard, the GT11 provides a playing surface that inspires and delivers more speed and precision. Add in three custom-wound Sweet ’64 pickups with the Half Blender switching system and Fat ’50s wiring, and you’ve got a premium guitar for any style of music.

Perfect strat specs!! Congrats Sweetwater! I have Fender CS Postmodern strat with compound radius 9.5 to 12 inch and did swap the bridge with Wudtone CP 50 (narrower string spacing 54mm) and Highwood saddles (10.8mm). I did also Cryo tuning on a whole guitar which changes the cellular structure of material, similar to aging and roasting. Guitar really feels and sounds like it was played for ages. I love my strat! :)

Finally a Fender Custom Shop spec that fits the bill for me. Only, I prefer the non relic'd or Journeyman version.

Just played one of these tonight at Sweetwater. The necks are gorgeous and play great. Absolutely killer guitars!

[PsychologyWorksOfficial]

I just got one on Reverb. My dream guitar.

[pdbordelon]

Just got mine from Sweetwater in Olympic White with Maple roasted neck....wow what a guitar!

[CatharticGuitar]

Best guitar I ever owned. Inca silver New Old Stock version. It has all the best vintage stuff but modern stuff. Truss rod access at the headstock, RW/RP middle pickup, etc.

Sweetwater is so lucky to have Don Carr to demo this fine guitar... the sapphire one is my target as is the oly white

[glenguldbeckmusic]

Just ordered mine today. Ironically, it’s the very guitar that Carr is demoing in this video!!!!

I got this one about a year ago. Lightest relic’ing possible, Olympic white with Mint guard.. she’s sexy. The neck is perfect on this one. Seriously no complaints about this other than the fact there isn’t a non relic’d option, or at least wasn’t at the time.

Nice Strat. It looks and sounds great.

[PoiticayNcorrect]

The NOS GT11 is quite possibly the most beautiful Strat I've ever seen. My ONLY issue is deciding which fretboard to get. Is the playability the same for both?

[IndyRockStar]

Love my CS GT11 except for one thing. The trem system. The guitar, like many Strats, lacks in the sustain area. I took my GT11 in to the shop and asked them to deck the bridge hoping for more sustain. The problem is the steel block will only allow you to move the the bridge to about 1mm from the body. Made the trem easier to use, but didn't do anything for the sustain. I just bought a Floyd Rose Rail Tail trem system which is solid brass covered in nickel and designed to sit flat on the on body like a hard tail. Hoping this fixes the sustain issue. Other than that the guitar feels and sounds great. Shout Out to Jimmy Hart!

How would you compare this neck to the suhr antique vintage C necks?

[sowhat]

I get what 11 stands for now but did I miss what the GT stands for?

[milliesdad]

How are the Narrow Tall Frets on these?? Im not big on jumbo frets that dig in to my fret hand when playing. It's a no go if they're not polished correctly. 🧐

[Stratcatblues]

Do these come with a Fender Custom Shop Certificate?

[jmorg]

Sounds great! Got one that hasn’t had the crap beat out of it... I like my new guitars to be new.. ; j

[jeffreykercheval]

Yep....expensive...but I am in love with that neck! Don't complain because of the price. This guitar sounds If you don't like the fact that it is a distressed relic....I get that. But it is pretty amazing! I already have a great guitar collection. My wife has asked me why I need more than 1! of these is on my horizon! She will see the light!

[astokes]

Love the Strats!! Hope to own another one eventually!! Mine has been amazing for years 🙏🔥🔥
