Overview

A painstakingly crafted relic that captures the mojo of a road-worn '69 Strat.

The Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition '69 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic captures the look, feel and iconic tone of a road-worn Strat straight from Woodstock era. Every element has been meticulously aged and relic'd to recreate the mojo of a '60s workhorse that has graced countless stages and studios. Whether you crave vintage Strat vibe or just appreciate incredible attention to detail, this relic'd beauty is a true tone machine.

Authentic Relic Treatment Dripping With Mojo

From the moment you lay eyes on this '69 Strat, you'll be transfixed by its road-worn vintage appeal. The gloss nitro lacquer finish has been painstakingly aged to replicate decades of play wear. The nickel/chrome hardware shows distinctive tarnishing and corrosion around the edges. Every element oozes hard-earned character and mojo, just like a cherished '60s instrument that has been your trusty companion for years.

Select Alder Body Serves Up Strat Tone Perfection

This relic'd Strat offers much more than just vintage mojo—it's also a high-performance tone machine. The two-piece select alder body pumps out that classic Strat midrange punch and bite that has defined rock tones for decades. You'll love the way it cuts through a wall of sound while staying tight and articulate even at high gain. With an alder Strat, your licks will sing out with unmistakable clarity.

Rift-Sawn Maple Neck Enhances Sustain and Clarity

Contributing further to this Strat's lively, resonant tone is its premium rift-sawn maple neck with round-laminated fingerboard. This dense yet lightweight neck imparts an unmistakable midrange focus and bell-like sustain to every note you play. The narrow tall frets, bone nut and vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge allow you to bend and manipulate the strings with the utmost expression. You'll feel instantly at home on this neck whether you're a vintage tone purist or just appreciate outstanding craftsmanship.

Custom Hand-Wound '69 Single Coils Nail That Vintage Vibe

Of course, the real heart and soul of this '69 Strat lies in its trio of hand-wound vintage-spec single-coil pickups. The bridge single-coil serves up authentic Strat quack and snarl for classic rock tones. Roll to the RWRP middle pickup for glassy, articulate funky tones. Then the RWRP '69 neck single-coil delivers warm, buttery lead tones that will inspire you to channel your inner SRV. With these custom hand-wound pickups, you're getting the full vintage Strat experience in all its dynamic glory.
