Ozzing with vibe this Strat sounds and plays as good as it looks. With all the classic Fender tones of the '60s, this guitar sings! Perfectly resonant between the neck and the body it feels alive in your hands. Its hand-wound Texas Special pickups perfectly capture every nuance of this guitar. You won't ever want to put this one down!
Key Features
- Compound Radius:Maximum comfort wherever you are on the neck, no matter what you are playing.
- Vintage Upgrade:Vintage styled with a sprinkle of useful modern upgrades such as ‘Vintage Upgrade’ (taller) frets, a Compound fingerboard radius, Texas Special pickups and a 5-way switch.
- Quarter Sawn Maple:Superior neck stability and strength thanks to thehand-selected Quater Sawn Maple neck.
- Super Faded Aged Nitro Finish:A brand new guitar that looks authentic!
Classic Combination
Fender’s classic 60s wood combination of an Alder body and Maple neck with a Rosewood Fingerboard. This ’63 Journeyman Strat comes equipped with a 2-piece Alder body, a Quarter Sawn Maple neck and a AAA Slab Rosewood fingerboard. All the glorious Stratocaster overtones and harmonics you'd hope for.
'60s C Oval Shape Neck
Regarded by so many guitarists as Fender's best-ever neck, the 60s Oval C is the perfect best of both. Thin enough that you can shred up and down the neck effortlessly yet still enough chunk that you can wrap your thumb over, feel the vibration and most importantly feel connected with the guitar.
Fender Custom Shop
Founded in 1987 the Fender Custom Shop is famed for making the best guitars that Fender has ever produced. It’s Fender’s dream factory using the top luthiers, the best tools and the best of the best materials. Everything is hand-selected to ensure that whatever they build is stage and studio-ready.
Josefina
With a direct link right back to Leo Fender and the original production of Fender’s instruments in the 50s, Josefina Campos is keeping Fender's pickup-making torch burning brightly! Selected by the ‘Queen of Tone’ Abigale Yabarra (Fender’s original pickup winder from the early 50s) to be her apprentice before she retired, Josefina’s hand-wound pickups are the sum of all Abigale’s and Leo’s knowledge. These hand-wound Texas Specials give you everything you want in a Strat, sparkling highs, bell-like chime and tight bass but with increased output to help push your amps and dirt pedals for the optimum Strat tone.
