Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Stratocaster Journeyman Relic with Closet Classic Hardware Rosewood Fingerboard Electric Guitar Aged Black

The Postmodern Stratocaster Journeyman Relic from Fender Custom Shop is a distinctively modern take on the legendary classic. Delivering an integral player-oriented configuration while capturing the essence of the original design, the Postmodern Strat is constructed with a two-piece alder body highlighted by a Journeyman Relic finish that gives the guitar a well-worn look and feel. The rift-sawn maple neck has a ’60-style “oval C” profile and features a round-lam rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5”-12” compound radius and 21 jumbo frets for improved comfort and easy note bends in the upper register. Dual-Mag II pickups deliver well-balanced tone with shimmering clear highs and rich lows, with a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup (for hum cancellation), five-way switch and Strat ½ Blender with Greasebucket II wiring, which features a .05uF capacitor for a late ’60s-style tonal sweep and less gain loss when attenuated. Additional features include a four-ply brown shell pickguard, Custom Shop Vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree with tall metal spacer. A deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity are also included.
