Fender Custom 1960 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic "Modern Specs" - ADNB

With this series of Team Built - Custom Order guitars we have put all our art into creating instruments that pushed forward the limits that characterize the Fender Custom Shop instruments.

Like all brands with a great history, Fender is often only expected to do what has always built. The Fender USA division has been trying for few years to get out of this constraint with some series of very successful modern guitars, but the Fender Custom Shop division has always remained very conservative, failing to garner the attention of those guitarists looking for modern specs.

What you can't find in the products from alternative brands, however, is the quality and the tone of a Fender guitar. That's why we decided to offer these extraordinary instruments, with modern specs but with traditional sounds.

Talking about the neck we find a contemporary Mid 60's Oval "C" profile paired with a rolled edges rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets Medium Jumbo / 6150 fretboard with a compound radius from 9.5" to 12" and characterized by a contoured heel, for comfortable access even to the last frets. Then we have selected a nut with a traditional 1.650" width.

The bridge is an RSD Stratocaster Tremolo, featuring redesigned support points for greater efficiency in terms of tuning and precision in movement, optimized spacing for better distribution of the strings over the fingerboard, as well as a newly designed inertial block for a sustain and attack even more impressive.

Finally, the electronics we have selected is a set of Fender Custom Handwound 60's Stratocaster Single Coil pickups, with a bright and defined tone, perfect for all genres.
