The Fender Custom Shop 1965 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic is a faithful nod to a golden-era Strat built with the kind of detail and care only the Fender Custom Shop delivers. Its 2-piece select alder body keeps things balanced and resonant while the Aged Graffiti Yellow Journeyman Relic finish gives it that lightly worn gigged-but-cared-for look without going over the top. It feels like a well-loved original straight out of the case with subtle ageing that adds character without compromising playability. A maple neck paired with a 3A rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth responsive feel shaped to a comfortable 1965 "C" profile that sits naturally in the hand. The 9.5 inch radius and narrow tall frets make bends feel easy while keeping chords tight and controlled. A trio of hand-wound 65 single-coils deliver classic Strat tones with plenty of sparkle clarity and dynamic range. With vintage-style hardware a bone nut and a traditional control layout this is a proper 60s-inspired Strat that blends authentic feel expressive tone and Custom Shop precision for serious players.
The Fender Custom Shop 65 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic 3A Rosewood Fingerboard Aged Graffiti Yellow guitar is ideal for individuals seeking an authentic vintage-inspired neck on a modern Stratocaster body.
