Fender Custom Shop '60 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic, Aged Chocolate 3 Colour Sunburst #R135693

Full Description

Journeyman Relic finish with vintage vibe

The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Strat features a Journeyman Relic finish that strikes the perfect balance between vintage character and modern craftsmanship. The Aged Chocolate 3-Colour Sunburst delivers a rich, deep aesthetic, while the carefully applied light relic work gives the guitar a naturally worn-in feel without excessive ageing. Every detail captures the look and vibe of a well-played vintage Strat, offering authentic style straight from the Custom Shop.

Fat '60s pickups with dynamic tone

Equipped with Custom Shop Fat '60s single-coil pickups, this Strat delivers the rich, full-bodied tone that defined an era. The hand-wound pickups produce sparkling highs, punchy mids, and warm lows, with the middle pickup reverse-wound for hum-cancelling in positions two and four. You get the unmistakable sound of a golden-age Stratocaster across blues, funk, cleans and more.

African Blackwood fingerboard for smooth playability

The African Blackwood fingerboard adds a unique touch to both the look and tone of the instrument. Its dense, smooth surface offers excellent note clarity and sustain, while giving your fretting hand a silky, responsive feel. Paired with the plain grain maple neck and vintage clay dot inlays, it creates a stunning visual contrast that sets this Custom Shop Strat apart.

Compound radius neck for modern comfort

Designed for versatile playability, the 7.25"–9.5" compound radius fingerboard allows for easy chord work near the nut and effortless bending higher up the neck. Combined with the 60 Style Oval "C" profile and narrow tall 6105 frets, the neck offers a comfortable, familiar feel suited to both vintage-inspired rhythm and expressive lead work. Every aspect of the neck design has been crafted for smooth, controlled performance.
