Kevsy71 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Delighted with this Fender Custom Shop '62 relic: faded surf green, lovely reliced nitro, clay dots, anodized gold pickguard - and the best neck I've ever played! Growls and thumps beautifully. Here are the dealer pics; I'll get some more of my own up later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Ooh very nice, I was admiring that for a while on the retailers website. I may get a gang of angry traditionalist after me with pitchforks for saying this, but I thought a tort guard would look amazing on that.....(runs for cover ?) lovely bass though, I am starting my savings tin in the new year for a CS Relic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed a Limelight, you can see more here: Compared to the CS: - both relic jobs are excellent. The Limelight has been aged more, with lovely detailing around the metalwork and fingerboard. The CS has a gorgeous cracked-nitro effect. - I prefer the lighter body and the amazing neck/fingerboard on the CS. This is where this CS excels..the Limelight is not very heavy though and there are no problems with the neck/fingerboard, I just prefer the CS - both the Limelight and CS pickups are absolutely superb!

Lozz196 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Optical illusion, but the CS bass looks much bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS: 43mm, 9.5" radius, oval C Limelight: 41mm, 9.5" radius, and what I think is a 'U' shape - certainly fuller in the hand, but still very playable given the smaller nut and lovely rolled edges.
