Fender Custom Shop 63 Stratocaster Mercedes Blue Journeyman Relic

Fender's Custom Shop guitars are each masterpieces with a unique character, and this Stratocaster is no exception. With beautiful details and period-correct specifications, this guitar beautifully revives the '60s.

This Stratocaster features an alder body with a Mercedes Blue finish and a subtle Journeyman relic, giving this Strat a truly played-in feel. Thanks to the Journeyman relic, the guitar looks as if it has been played and used normally by its owner for years, but behind the appearance lies a modern instrument that has yet to begin its musical journey!

The maple neck has a '60s-style Oval C profile and a rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25-inch radius, ensuring excellent playing comfort. The white dot inlays ensure you know exactly where you are on the neck while playing. The combination of an alder body and a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard provides excellent resonance and sustain. Alder is lightweight and offers a balanced tone, while maple is known for its brightness and snappy attack. The rosewood fingerboard adds a warm, full tone to the whole!

The three hand-wound Fat64 single-coil pickups housed in the parchment pickguard offer the iconic tonal variety that has made the Stratocaster beloved for decades across countless musical genres. This Custom Shop Stratocaster comes in a hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity.
