Fresh from the acclaimed Fender Custom Shop, the Limited-edition '64 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic re-creates one of Fender’s most popular and collectible models of the 1960s. The Stratocaster was gaining ground as the centerpiece of Fender’s lineup and an iconic guitar that even non-musicians would immediately recognize. This guitar captures the '64 Strat down to the last detail with its 2-piece alder body, "C" profile neck, vintage hardware, and round-lam rosewood fingerboard that improved upon old-school “slab” fingerboards. Powering the Limited-edition '64 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic’s tone are three hand-wound Texas Special Strat pickups. They're a favorite of guitarists who prefer a more powerful pickup, loaded with mid-range snarl, crystal-clear highs, and focused bass. This particular Strat features Fender’s Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose finish. The Journeyman finish gives this limited edition a well-preserved feel with minor signs of wear as if it were played, but immaculately maintained and passed down from generation to generation.
