Fender Custom Shop 65 Stratocaster Sunburst Journeyman Relic

For years, Fender's Custom Shop has set the standard by which all others are measured. This Stratocaster combines the class of the '60s with the flair and luxury for which the Custom Shop is known.

The Fender Stratocaster in Blue Sparkle is not only a feast for the eyes but also offers a rich tone rooted in the iconic designs of the '60s. This Stratocaster is equipped with a set of Hand Wound 65 single coils, which perfectly capture the authentic sound of that era. These pickups are known for their bright, clean sound and a beautiful, warm tone, contributing to the signature Stratocaster sound that's perfectly suited to a variety of musical styles, from blues to rock!

The combination of an alder body and a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard provides excellent resonance and sustain. Alder is lightweight and delivers a balanced tone, while maple is known for its brightness and quick response. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and fullness to the overall tonal character!

The subtly aged Journeyman finish not only contributes to a slightly "played-in" appearance but can also influence the tone by allowing the wood to resonate more fully. This gives the guitar a characteristic sound reminiscent of vintage instruments. The Stratocaster's versatility allows musicians to create different sounds by varying the settings of their amp and pedals, making it suitable for both bright, clean tones and powerful, distorted sounds.

This allows you to effortlessly move between the many genres in which the Strat has played a crucial role in the hands of countless great musicians!

Comes in a custom shop case with a TFOA passport.
