2022 Fender Custom Shop 1961 Journeyman Relic Stratocaster 3-Color Sunburst
NEW - This ’61 Strat Journeyman Relic takes you back to a special time during the evolution of the venerable model when Leo Fender was constantly modifying, progressing, innovating and perfecting. 1961 was the final year of the round-lam or “slab” rosewood fingerboard, ushering in a new era of ’60s Strats along with many other changes and upgrades
On this model, a two-piece select alder body wears a well-worn Heavy Relic lacquer finish, and the quartersawn maple neck has a ’60s-style “oval C” profile, 7.25”-radius flat-lam rosewood fingerboard, and 21 Vintage Style (45085) frets for classic feel and butter-smooth playing.
Custom Shop hand-wound 60’s Relic pickups provide crisp tone and are hooked up to 250K pots with a 10% tapper split, all on a three-ply mint green pickguard. Other features include a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree with tall metal spacer. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
