Relic-finished and ready to go. The master crafters at Fender's factory have used their artistic prowess to give this guitar a heavily road-worn look and feel.

But, don't be fooled by the looks - the professional grade hardware is in pristine condition and contributes towards the seamless performance of the '60 Strat Journeyman.
Fat and full of flavour
The three Strat Fat '60s in the neck, middle and bridge positions are real treasures. Boasting the most pristine note articulation, your riffs will glisten with clarity, punch, and bite. The bridge single coil offers that tight, crunchy, full bodied response, bringing out the best in your music. Notes in chords will pop out, whilst lead lines will sing with character – you'll be unstoppable.
The middle Fat '60s offers a beautiful balance between the neck and bridge pickups. It will give your licks a rich, twangy, defined voice and tonnes of flair. Then there's the neck pickup. It explodes with passion when your switch to it, giving your notes beefy low end punch and a soaring tone. With it, you'll be able to make your solos fly to the skies, with a rich, rewarding sound and unbelievable definition. With these pickups pumping out stellar tone, you'll always have a smile on your face playing the 1960 Stratocaster.
The neck of dreams

Custom made with the finest attention to detail you can imagine, it offers you everything you could ever desire – smooth fret transitions, comfortable grip, and a beautiful, bright resonance. You'll be able to express yourself cleanly and with complete accuracy all along the fretboard, and your licks will gimmer with clarity.
For the performers
