Overview

A roasted ash Strat with rich tones and vintage character.

The Fender Custom Shop limited-edition roasted Stratocaster journeyman relic with DLX closet classic electric guitar showcases the pinnacle of craftsmanship, combining vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern enhancements. Featuring a 2-piece roasted ash body finished in aged natural nitrocellulose lacquer, this instrument offers exceptional resonance and warmth. The quartersawn maple neck, paired with a 3A rosewood fingerboard, delivers a premium playing experience with smooth fretting and durability. Hand-wound pickups, including the Ancho Poblano and Tomatillo single-coils, provide a versatile tonal palette that ranges from glassy highs to rich midrange warmth. With custom relic detailing and gold-standard components, this Stratocaster perfectly balances tradition and innovation, making it a standout addition to any guitarist's collection.

Premium Hand-Wound Pickups for Dynamic Tone

This Stratocaster is equipped with custom shop hand-wound single-coil pickups—the Ancho Poblano at the bridge and Tomatillo pickups at the middle and neck positions. These pickups deliver an expressive, dynamic tone with enhanced clarity and depth, making each note sing with definition. The Ancho Poblano offers punchy brightness and articulation, while the Tomatillo pickups bring warm, vintage-inspired tonal characteristics. With a 5-position blade switch and tone-saver treble-bleed circuit, players can easily shape their sound for lead work, rhythm playing, or nuanced dynamics. This pickup configuration ensures precise tonal control while capturing the unmistakable charm of classic Fender tones.

Roasted Ash Body and Nitrocellulose Finish for Superior Resonance

The roasted ash body with an offset seam delivers superior tonal properties, including enhanced resonance and sustain. Roasting the wood not only improves stability but also emphasizes its rich tonal characteristics, providing a balanced sound with tight lows and sparkling highs. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish in aged natural enhances the wood's natural grain while allowing it to age gracefully over time. The lightweight construction ensures excellent comfort during extended playing sessions, while the carefully contoured body promotes effortless access to higher frets. This combination of materials and finishes creates an instrument that is as visually stunning as it is sonically powerful.

Vintage-Inspired Neck and Fingerboard for Smooth Playability

The quartersawn maple neck features an early '60s truss rod and a modern medium C profile, providing a comfortable feel for both chord-based rhythm playing and intricate lead work. The 3A rosewood fingerboard enhances the tactile experience with smooth fretting and a luxurious finish. Medium jumbo frets ensure effortless bends and accurate intonation across all 21 frets, while mother of pearl dot inlays add a touch of elegance. The bone nut and vintage-style tuning machines work seamlessly to deliver excellent tuning stability and precision. Together, these components make this guitar an ideal choice for players seeking timeless playability and refinement.

RSD Tremolo Bridge for Enhanced Performance

The 6-saddle RSD Stratocaster tremolo bridge combines vintage-style steel saddles with modern engineering to deliver impeccable tonal transfer and sustain. Designed for smooth tremolo action, the bridge ensures reliable performance during expressive bends and vibrato techniques. The nickel/chrome hardware complements the instrument's aged aesthetic while providing durability for long-term use. Whether you're recording in the studio or performing live, the tremolo system offers stability and responsiveness, allowing players to push their creativity without compromise.
