{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-1959-stratocaster-journeyman-relic","title":"Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic","description":"\u003cp\u003e1959 is the year the Stratocaster went to rosewood, and this one has the flat-laminated board of that first run on a quartersawn maple neck with a 1959 \"D\" back, a fuller carve than the soft V shapes earlier in the decade. The body is 2-piece select alder under a Journeyman Relic finish, with a 3-ply mint green pickguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat '50s Single-Coil Strat pickups, middle reverse-wound and reverse-polarity, run through Vintage Modified #2 wiring with a treble-bleed on the master volume. Tone 2 covers the bridge pickup on its own. A 9.5\" radius and narrow tall frets make it an easy player for bends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1960 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic is the obvious neighbour: same aging and board, but a '60s Oval \"C\" neck and '60s pickups. For a late-'50s rosewood Strat with no aging, look at the Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster Rosewood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour finishes, all with a 3A Rosewood board: Faded Aged Sage Green Metallic, Faded Aged Sea Foam Green, Super Faded Aged Sonic Blue and Super Faded Aged Shell Pink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from guitar to guitar, so the one built for you will differ in the details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: 2-Piece Select Alder\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Stratocaster\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: 3-Ply Mint Green\u003cbr\u003eAging: Journeyman Relic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Quartersawn Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: 1959 \"D\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 9.5\" (241 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: 3A Rosewood\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Vintage Clay Dot\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003eFret Size: Narrow Tall (6105)\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Early '60s\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat '50s Single-Coil Strat\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound RWRP Fat '50s Single-Coil Strat\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat '50s Single-Coil Strat\u003cbr\u003ePickup Configuration: SSS\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume with Tone-Saver Treble-Bleed Circuit, Tone 1.
