Step into the spotlight with the Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster HSS Journeyman Relic in Silver Sparkle—an electrifying blend of vintage-correct style and contemporary hot-rodded performance. This boutique Strat combines the bold, psychedelic looks of the late-’60s with the versatility of an HSS pickup configuration, making it the perfect choice for modern players who want classic Fender feel with extra sonic muscle.
The lightweight, sorted 2-piece ash body is finished in a stunning Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer in Silver Sparkle for maximum stage presence and authentic, broken-in resonance. The large headstock maple neck features a comfortable late-’60s “C” profile, 9.5" radius AAA round-lam dark rosewood fingerboard, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, and mother-of-pearl inlays for modern playability with vintage soul.
Electronics deliver the best of both worlds:
Handwound ’69 Strat Relic single coils in neck and middle (middle RWRP for hum canceling)
Seymour Duncan SH-4B Zebra humbucker in the bridge for powerful modern tones
Vintage ’68–’69 Strat wiring, master volume, two tone controls, and a 5-way CRL switch
Classic hardware includes a relic’d American Vintage Strat tremolo, parchment pickguard, aged white knobs, Schaller F-key tuners, and a bone nut.
