Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '68 Black Paisley Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Closet Classic Electric Guitar Blue Flower

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 68 Black Paisley Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Closet Classic electric guitar transports you back to the Summer of Love with vintage-inspired aesthetics and tone. This Stratocaster is crafted for serious musicians seeking an authentic 1960s experience. The lightweight alder body and maple neck provide balanced warmth and brightness, while the rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing feel. Three Custom Shop single-coil pickups deliver the crisp, articulate sound that defined the era. With its striking paisley finish and relic'd hardware, this Stratocaster looks and sounds as if it's straight out of 1968.

Iconic Paisley Finish Evokes the Psychedelic Era

The instantly recognizable paisley pattern in black and red hues gives this Stratocaster a stylish, retro vibe. Under the custom finish, the alder body resonates with woody depth and clarity. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish ages and wears over time, developing a patina unique to your playing style. Run your fingers over the worn steel frets, aged hardware and yellowed pickguard for a true vintage experience.

Maple Neck Provides Comfort and Playability

The maple neck has a comfortable "softV" profile modeled after a well-loved '60s Stratocaster. With its smooth, satin finish, the neck glides under your fingers as you blaze across 21 narrow frets. The 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard has rolled edges for a worn-in feel and dot inlays as a subtle nod to the era. Tuning stability comes from Fender/Schaller "F" tuners.

Authentic '60s Pickups Dial in Quintessential Strat Tone

This Stratocaster comes to life through a set of Custom Shop single-coil pickups. The bridge pickup delivers crisp treble and articulation, while the middle pickup produces rounded warmth. The neck pickup gives you syrupy, vocal-like tone. Choose pickups alone or blend them together for a range of classic Strat sounds suited to any genre. Master volume, master tone and a five-way selector switch allow you to shape your tone with ease.

Other Features Capture the Spirit of '68

A synchronized tremolo bridge, bent steel saddles and nickel/chrome hardware complete the vintage-inspired design. You'll appreciate the included deluxe hardshell case for protecting your investment. With premium components, timeless aesthetics and tone for days, the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 68 Black Paisley Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Closet Classic electric guitar lets you experience the energy of 1968.
