To celebrate 70 years of the Stratocaster—the platinum anniversary of the world’s greatest electric guitar—the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition Roasted ’54 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic. Its two-piece select ash body (with offset seam on the treble side) resonates with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, and wears a sensational Journeyman Relic lacquer finish in Wide Fade Chocolate Two-Color Sunburst, Natural Blonde, ’55 Desert Tan, Aged Black, Cimarron Red and Aged Desert Sand.
The one-piece roasted quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a special 70th anniversary Soft “V” profile based on an incredible Strat neck from July 1954, topped by a 9.5”-radius fingerboard with 21 narrow tall (6105) frets and a 1.625” bone nut. Three Custom Shop hand-wound ’54 Strat pickups deliver that classic Strat voice with clear, bell-like highs, routed through vintage ’54 Strat wiring with wax paper cap and five-way switching.
All in all it’s a distinctive combination of 1950s-inspired aesthetics, with other premium features including an eight-hole gold anodized pickguard, 1954-style ABS white pickup covers and control knobs, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners, disc string tree, special 70th Anniversary Stratocaster neck plate, deluxe embroidered hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
