Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Daphne Blue 2021

Fender boasts a rich history filled with iconic colors, and Daphne Blue is undoubtedly a favorite among guitarists. For this Stratocaster, the Fender Custom Shop took a 1960 model as its foundation but added some essential modern twists!

The highly resonant body is crafted from alder and paired with a maple neck featuring an extra-dark rosewood fretboard with a compound radius ranging from 9.5 to 12 inches. The neck sports a Modern C profile which, combined with the contoured heel, ensures a comfortable playing experience.

Thanks to the Journeyman Relic finish—expertly applied by Custom Shop specialists—the guitar looks as though it has been played and used 'normally' by its owner for years; yet, beneath this aesthetic lies a modern instrument just waiting to begin its musical journey!

As with any Custom Shop model, this Stratocaster is equipped with pickups that beautifully capture the signature sound of the early '60s, allowing the Stratocaster's versatility to shine. Its broad tonal spectrum makes it perfect for everything from sparkling cleans to powerful overdrive, enabling it to fit seamlessly into a wide range of musical styles.

This 2021 Stratocaster is in exceptionally clean condition, showing only minimal signs of play on the pickguard. It is a truly fine instrument that is sure to captivate you from the very first note!
