Experience the authentic style and feel of a late-'60s Stratocaster with the 1969 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic from the Fender Custom Shop Time Machine series. This electric guitar features a faded vintage blonde nitrocellulose lacquer finish on a 2-piece select alder body for the vintage look and feel. The maple neck has a 1969 "U" profile and is topped with either a round-laminated maple or rosewood fingerboard (depending on finish) and 21 Vintage Upgrade (45085) frets.

The 5-way blade pickup switching provides a wide range of classic Strat tones.
