A tip of the cap to a pivotal era in Fender's history, this Custom Shop '60 Strat Journeyman Relic exemplifies the elegance and essence of a vintage Stratocaster, enhanced with modern features and customised upgrades.
This instrument is remarkably resonant, with the Journeyman designation indicating a light ageing process. The subtly relic'ed nitrocellulose finish imparts character without excessive wear with subtle checking up against the gorgeous mint guard. The deep Sunburst finish is quintessential to Fender, and is impeccably replicated on this model.
The neck on this Strat has been stripped and resprayeddelivering a stunning roasted aesthetic that compliments the Sunburst finish nicely. The 9.5" radius fretboard has been rolled, allowing super-smooth navigation up and down the rosewood. The hand-wound '60s Strat pickups deliver vintage Stratocaster tones with unparalleled precision and warmth.
Maintained by a single owner and kept predominantly in its case, this guitar is in near-mint condition, considering its relic status. All case candy is included, CoA, Fender Strap, ashtray and Fender rag.
For those seeking an exceptional '60s-style Stratocaster with the elusive vintage tone, this guitar represents an ideal choice. Seize the opportunity to acquire this remarkable Strat before someone else does!
