A striking fusion of mid‘60s style and Fender Custom Shop craftsmanship, this guitar is the perfect blend of looks, tone, and playability. Featuring an alder body in Ice Blue Metallic, aged with a Journeyman Relic finish, this Stratocaster offers subtle checking and light wear that evokes decades of love without the heavy relic look. The maple neck sports a comfortable mid-’60s “C” profile, topped with a round-lam maple fingerboard and 9.5” radius. Under the hood, Hand-Wound ’65 Strat pickups deliver chimey highs, warm mids, and unmistakable vintage Strat sparkle.

Check out how this guitar sounds. Played through a Fender Twin Reverb. Positions 5 (neck),3 (middle) and 1 (Bridge) are played, starting with the neck position.
