Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic—a guitar that embodies the timeless charm of a vintage classic. The two-piece select alder body is finished in Journeyman Relic lacquer, available in Super Faded Aged Shell Pink, Super Faded Aged Sonic Blue, Faded Aged Sea Foam Green, and Faded Aged Sherwood Green Metallic, giving it the authentic, worn-in look and feel of a cherished instrument passed down through generations.
This model showcases the iconic features of late '50s Stratocasters, including a quartersawn maple neck with a ’59-style “D” back-shape and a flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard, designed to enhance both tone and playability. Outfitted with a trio of Custom Shop hand-wound Fat ‘50s Stratocaster pickups, Vintage Modified #2 wiring, and Tone-Saver bleed circuitry, this guitar delivers the coveted tones of the golden era.
Additional premium features include a 9.5" radius fingerboard, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, a 5-way pickup selector, a 3-ply mint green pickguard, a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut, and a wing string tree with a tall metal spacer. The guitar comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
