Photo of Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Heavy Relic The Unicorn: The Guitar that Shouldn't Exist. "A Fender Custom Shop '63 wearing a maple fretboard — the one spec a '63 isn't supposed to have. A year of chasing, two misses, and the rule I paid to learn: never balk." Phillip Gajewski • Collector
