Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’54 Stratocaster Journeyman, Aged Olympic White
This Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’54 Stratocaster is the epitome of simple, elegant Fender design that comes to us in a beautiful Aged Olympic White finish with the Custom Shop’s Journeyman relic treatment.
This ’54 Stratocaster is made to cater to the player. Its body is cut from a 2-piece ash, sorted for light weight with ’54 body routing and contours. It’s connected to its neck with a special edition 70th Anniversary four-bolt neck plate with the guitar’s serial number on it, and in simple style, features a white pickguard to underline the fact that the flashiness can be left at home.
The maple neck delivers more comfort from this Strat, featuring the special 70th Anniversary Strat profile, living somewhere between a Soft “V” and a “U,” with some shoulder that allows for a comfy grip. The rear of the neck is totally unfinished and relic’d down to the maple which makes it quick and soft to the palm. The fingerboard is rocking some modern playability upgrades with a slick 7.25″-9.50″ compound radius and Medium Jumbo frets. Micarta Black, .250″ inlays guide your way across the board with wide spacing at the 12th fret.
A vintage-inspired Strat needs vintage-inspired guts, so this FCS Olympic White beauty features a trio of tasty Strat pickups handwired to resemble the same that are found in an original ’54. Controlled with a 5-way pickup selecting blade, you can’t really miss with any combination of these pickups together or alone.
Featuring all vintage-style hardware including Vintage tuning machines with Fender logos on them, and a Vintage Strat bridge, this guitar boasts the Fender Custom Shop’s Journeyman relic treatment, meaning it emulates the finish of an instrument that’s been used since the ’50s but still taken care of wonderfully. While lacking the same intensity of a Heavy or Super Heavy relic, there’s still some proof that this Strat has seen battle, with a few small nicks strategically placed in the finish around the body.
This Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’54 Strat comes with a custom hardshell case included.
