Fender Custom Shop Dealer Select Journeyman HST Stratocaster Main Features
- Alder body
- Roasted maple neck with ’60s C-profile, AAA rosewood fretboard with compound radius
- Seymour Duncan SH-55 humbucker (neck), Fat ’50s Strat (middle), Fat ’51 Nocaster (bridge), 5-way switch
- American Vintage tremolo bridge/tailpiece, vintage locking tuners
A Body Built for Tone and Visual Appeal
We chose alder for the body, a balanced tonewood that makes a perfect sonic base for pickups. It has a Journeyman relic finish—the shine of a closet classic, with the lacquer checking that only age (and the Fender Custom Shop) imparts.
A Neck Spec’d With Special Woods
There is something intoxicating about roasted maple, and Fender uses it to full effect with this neck. It has a ’60s oval C-shape, based specifically on a 1963 Strat. The AAA rosewood fretboard has a compound radius—7.25ʺ to 9.25ʺ. It has a rounder, chunkier, feel for lower fret chording; moving up the neck, the fretboard flattens for better bending, faster picking and more tuneful arpeggios.
Balanced Set of Hand-Wound Pickups
It’s easy to drop three different pickups into a guitar and call it a day, but we spent extra time with Fender to come up with a truly balanced set. Seth Lover designed the neck humbucker in the original ’72 Tele Custom. Here, it’s a Seymour Duncan SH-55, built to Lover’s precise specification for a true P.A.F. sound—lively with a warm midrange and a smooth, buttery treble.
A Fat ’50s Stratocaster single coil occupies the middle position. It has the vintage tone of the earliest Strat pickup, but is reverse-wound with reverse polarity for modern, noiseless operation. The bridge Fat ’51 Nocaster offers true Tele twang and a tight low end, with the biting treble tones of Bakersfield.
Time-Tested Hardware
The Journeyman HST is equipped with an American Vintage tremolo bridge/tailpiece and Vintage locking tuners. Fender got it right the first time—why mess with success?
The Fender Custom Shop Dealer Select Journeyman HST Stratocaster comes with a certificate of authenticity and a hardshell case.
