Fender Custom Shop 1965 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Ocean Turquoise

The Fender Stratocaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever produced, and Fender’s Custom Shop creates imaginative interpretations of this legendary model that never fail to impress.

The builders at the Custom Shop are the very best in their field; their passion, knowledge, and craftsmanship are evident in every guitar that leaves the workshop. This '65 Stratocaster exhibits such meticulous attention to detail in both its construction and finish that it feels almost like a genuine vintage Strat!

The alder body is dressed in a stunning Ocean Turquoise finish, featuring a subtle "Journeyman Relic" treatment. Yet, beneath this aged exterior lies a reliable, perfectly set-up instrument with excellent specifications, ensuring the comfortable, seamless playing experience that modern musicians demand. For instance, the maple neck features a rosewood fretboard, "Narrow Tall" frets, and a '65 Strat "C" profile.

The three hand-wound '65 Strat single-coil pickups are based on the classic 1960s design. Their crisp, clear tones transport you back in time, allowing you to explore the many genres in which the Strat has played a pivotal role in the hands of countless legendary musicians.

This guitar has been carefully inspected for condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
