Overview

Weight: 7 lbs 9 ozs

Step into Fender’s golden age with the Fender Custom Shop 1957 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in White Blonde, featuring a spectacular AAA flame maple neck. This masterbuilt Strat blends the warmth and resonance of a two-piece ash body with boutique relic aging, giving you the look, feel, and vibe of a true vintage instrument. The Journeyman Relic finish offers subtle aging for a played-in yet well-preserved look, perfect for collectors and gigging musicians alike.

Under the hood, you’ll find a trio of handwound Strat Fat '50s pickups delivering signature bell-like clarity, punchy mids, and crystalline highs. The 9.5" radius AAA maple fretboard, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, and soft ’57 “V” neck profile deliver unbeatable playability and classic comfort for any style.

Every detail—from gold relic hardware to the parchment relic pickguard and 5-way selector—captures the timeless elegance and tone of a Blackguard-era Strat, reimagined for today’s most discerning players.
