Fender 1959 Stratocaster® Journeyman Relic®, 3A Rosewood Fingerboard, Super Faded Aged Shell Pink

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 - Super Faded Aged Shell Pink 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.
