Fender Custom Shop '69 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Olympic White 2022
Fender Custom '69 Strat, Aged Olympic White, made in USA 2022. If you're going to buy a Strat, you may as well get the one you always wanted, right? This is a thing of beauty. The 1969 Strat came with a big headstock, bold black CBS-era decals, F-key tuners, a maple cap fretboard, no skunk stripe on the back of the neck, three-ply white pickguard, stamped saddles and a set of bright and lively single coil pickups, so this got all that to match. The neck is pretty fat: it's rounded and smooth with a decent girth to it; it feels great. The pickups are a delight: clear, open through the top end, warm and wide in the midrange, piano-like and percussive on the bass... it's a delight. The Jimi-style tones are absolutely on tap, it does that perfectly. This includes all the docs and the case, and you save stack compared to a new one... life is grand.
