Celebrate a true icon with the Fender Custom Shop 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic, finished in eye-catching Daphne Blue. Built to commemorate seven decades of the world’s most influential electric guitar, this Custom Shop masterpiece captures the look, feel, and unmistakable tone of the very first Stratocasters—with era-correct details, premium materials, and a stage-ready Journeyman Relic finish.

The 2-piece off-center ash body features authentic 1954 contours and is wrapped in a thin nitro Daphne Blue lacquer, lightly aged for vintage character and maximum resonance. The AAA birdseye maple neck is carved to the special 70th Anniversary 1954 profile, offering a comfortable, substantial feel (.885" at the first fret and .980" at the twelfth). Its one-piece maple fingerboard sports a modern 9.5" radius, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, black micarta dots, and a 1.625" bone nut for a perfect blend of old-school comfort and modern playability.

Under the hood, Custom Shop Hand-Wound Fat '50s Strat pickups deliver legendary Strat chime and clarity—bright, bell-like cleans, punchy mids, and rich lows. Paired with Vintage Modified #1 wiring and a 3-way switch, you get true 1950s versatility and expressive dynamics in every position.

Vintage-inspired hardware includes a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, aged chrome/nickel tuners, and a single-ply eggshell white pickguard, all relic’d for a broken-in, gig-ready look. Factory-strung with .010–.046 strings, this Strat arrives in a commemorative Fender Custom Shop 70th Anniversary tweed case.

Whether you’re a collector, a vintage Strat enthusiast, or a serious player looking for iconic Fender tone and feel, the 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in Daphne Blue delivers timeless style, unmatched playability, and true Custom Shop quality.
