Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic – Ocean Turquoise, AAA Maple Neck

Iconic ’60s Strat® Style in Dazzling Ocean Turquoise – AAA Birdseye Maple Neck, Handwound Fat ’60s Pickups, and Custom Shop Relic Magic

Overview

The Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in Ocean Turquoise is a celebration of classic ’60s Stratocaster tone, feel, and visual flair. Built with a select 2-piece ash body finished in a tastefully aged Journeyman nitrocellulose lacquer, this Strat delivers both the eye-catching appeal of Ocean Turquoise and the authentic resonance of golden-era Fender guitars.

The AAA birdseye maple neck features an early ’60s oval “C” profile, a comfortable 9.5" radius, and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets for effortless bends and modern playability. Handwound Strat Fat ’60s pickups deliver period-correct bell-like tones, sparkling highs, and warm mids, all controlled by Strat Vintage Modified Wiring #1 and a 5-way selector switch.

Every detail—from the parchment relic pickguard to the aged chrome/nickel hardware and bone nut—captures the spirit of an original ’63 Strat, masterfully recreated for today’s collectors and discerning players.
