Fender Custom Shop '59 Strat Journeyman Relic HT, Aged Olympic White #CZ571262 Overview
The Fender Custom Shop '59 Strat Journeyman Relic HT is a guitar that goes beyond the ordinary. As part of the exclusive limited edition model for the 2022 Fall Event, it boasts a gorgeous Journeyman Relic finish package and an eye-catching Aged Olympic White colour with gold hardware. And not only is it it simply stunning to look at, but Fender's finest ensured it's sublime to play, too. An utterly premium AAA-graded flame maple neck blank is shaped into a '59 "D" profile for authentic and enhanced playability, while a medium tint nitro lacquer ensures a sublime feel that wears in gracefully.
As for the tones, a set of hand-wound '59 Custom Classic single coils provide expressive and clear sonics, from the bright and chimey bridge to the rich and syrupy neck. Their vintage output combines with an exceptional definition and responsiveness, suiting multiple musical styles. On top of that, modern style wiring and RWRP positions allow for hum-free playing and a wider range of tones than a '50s original. A compound 7.25-9.5" radius fretboard provides the perfect balance between accuracy and playability, while the classic hardtail bridge ensures enhanced sustain and rock-solid stability for tuning and intonation. Complete with a premium tweed hardcase and certificate of authenticity, this is a rare Strat that any true Fender fan would hate to miss!

Full Description
View Full DescriptionHand wound '59 Custom Classic pickups
The heart of the Custom Shop Fender Strat is its hand-wound '59 Custom Classic pickups. Each pickup is individually hand-crafted by Fender's expert team, using traditional materials and techniques to ensure the utmost quality and tone. These pickups are designed to replicate the sound of original '50s single coils, but with a modern twist that allows for more versatility and hum-free playing. The bridge pickup is bright and twangy, perfect for country or rock music, while the neck pickup is rich and warm, ideal for blues and jazz. The middle pickup features an RWRP (reverse wound reverse polarity) design, which allows for hum-cancelling in positions 2 and 4 on the 5-way selector switch.
Sublime playability through a '59 neck and AAA-graded rosewood fretboard
The neck of the Fender Custom Shop '59 Strat is crafted to replicate the feel and playability of a genuine 1959 Stratocaster. With a vintage style "D" profile, medium tint nitro lacquer finish, and AAA-graded flame maple neck blank, this guitar feels like it's been played for decades. The rosewood fretboard adds a touch of warmth and depth to the tone, while the compound 7.25-9.5" radius provides the perfect balance between vintage accuracy and modern playability. Whether you're playing chords or shredding solos, this neck will feel comfortable and smooth in your hands.
Journeyman Relic finish for a unique aesthetic
The Journeyman Relic finish on the Custom Shop Fender Strat is a unique feature that adds to the exclusivity and collectability of this guitar. This finish is created by hand, using techniques to simulate natural wear and tear over time. The result is a guitar with subtle signs of ageing, such as light scratches and dings, giving it an authentic vintage aesthetic. Each guitar with a Journeyman Relic finish is one-of-a-kind, making this Custom Shop Fender Strat a truly special and unique instrument to add to your collection.
Premium hardware for enhanced tone and stability
The hardware on this Custom Shop Fender Strat is carefully selected and crafted for optimal tone and stability. The gold hardware adds a touch of luxury to the overall aesthetic, while the vintage hardtail bridge ensures enhanced sustain and rock-solid tuning stability.
