Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '63 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Aged Sea Foam Green

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '63 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic gives you a vintage vibe and tone. Handcrafted in the Custom Shop, this Strat has the look and feel of a well-loved original from 1963, complete with a Journeyman Relic finish and aged parts. Its alder body and rift-sawn maple neck provide the balanced warmth and clarity expected from an early '60s Strat. The narrow-tall frets and 7.25" fingerboard radius give you an authentic playing experience. Powered by a trio of Custom Shop '63 single-coil pickups, this Strat delivers the unmistakable bell-like tones that defined the era.

Journeyman Relic Finish Evokes a Lifetime of Music

The Journeyman Relic finish on this Strat's alder body is crafted to mimic the appearance of a guitar that has been played for years. Subtle dings, dents, scratches and worn spots in the aged nitrocellulose lacquer give the impression of an instrument with a storied past. The relic process is more than cosmetic, also imparting a broken-in feel that inspires you to play this guitar from the moment you pick it up.

Early '60s Specs Provide Vintage Playability

This Strat's rift-sawn maple neck has a comfortable "C" profile typical of Strats from 1963. The 7.25" fingerboard radius and narrow-tall frets provide a natural feel for chording and string bending. The bone nut and vintage-style tuners keep your guitar in tune through heavy use. A vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles gives you expressive pitch-shifting effects. Overall, this Strat's vintage specs keep you connected to the instrument so you can focus on playing.

Custom Shop Pickups Recreate a Vintage Tone

The trio of Custom Shop '63 single-coil Strat pickups are hand-wound to capture the chimey, articulate tones that defined early rock and roll. The bridge pickup delivers clarity and cut for solos, while the neck pickup produces round, full tones perfect for rhythm playing. With a 5-way switch, master volume and two tone controls, you have full access to the glassy tones of the bridge and neck pickups, as well as the quacky "in-between" sounds that Strat players love.

Certificate of Authenticity and Premium Case Included

Your Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '63 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic comes with a deluxe Tweed case and strap, along with a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by a Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop. With its vintage looks, feel and tone, this Strat lets you forge your own musical legacy.
