Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Faded Aged Blue Ice Metallic

With this ethos, the Custom Shop developed a new line of guitars, called the Postmodern Series.  Upon release, they were an immediate hit.  Each year, the specs changed slightly.  We've found that the 2019 version was the best, and have continued to order instruments with those specs.  That's where this amazing Strat originates.  Combining timeless Fender style with player-friendly features, the Postmodern Strat is a gig-ready instrument with thoughtful design touches that could only come from the Fender Custom Shop.

The two-piece select alder body wears a thin lacquer "flashcoat" finish that lets the wood breathe with more resonance while wearing in a distinctively personal way. Strong and stable, tinted riftsawn maple neck sports a comfortable '60s Syle Oval "C"-shaped profile that works well for almost any playing style, while the modern 12”-radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets offer a familiar experience.

Designed for hum-free, vintage-informed tone, the trio of hand-wound single-coil pickups includes a hot Texas Special bridge pickup, RWRP Fat ‘50s in the middle position to reduce hum and a ’69 in the neck position. It's all tied it together with Fat ‘50s wiring, and then to ensure it’s as RFI- and EMI-resistant as possible, the shop shielded the pickups and control routes.

The Journeyman Relic treatment gives this guitar the look and feel of an often-played original, personalized with a “decked” tremolo and extra tremolo springs for increased stability.  Other features include a contoured neck heel, 4-Ply 11-Hole Brown Shell pickguard, Custom Shop vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style staggered tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
