FENDER SAYS
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '68 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic brings you a stunning recreation of a late 60's era instrument. Packed with vintage specs, this Stratocaster looks well played but well loved, with a few choice upgrades along the way, and plays like a dream after the careful attention from the Custom Shop.
Features like the '69 Style "U" neck profile and Custom Shop Vintage Synchronized Tremolo completely evoke the idea of playing a truly decades old, well maintained instrument. Some of the cool, slightly more 'Extra' features include the Schaller "F" Tuning Machines, Hand-Wound Master Design "Bone-Tone" Strat Pickups, and the 1/2 Blender wiring. Just the kind of magic you only find at the Fender Custom Shop.
