Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster HSS Journeyman Relic – Graffiti Yellow

Late-’60s Fender Style, Modern HSS Power, and a Stunning Relic Finish

Meet the Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster HSS Journeyman Relic in Graffiti Yellow—a bold, vintage-inspired Strat with modern tonal muscle. Designed for discerning players, this custom Strat blends late-’60s Fender craftsmanship and style with an HSS pickup configuration for unmatched sonic versatility.

Its lightweight, sorted 2-piece ash body wears a Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose finish in iconic Graffiti Yellow, giving it the look, feel, and resonance of a beloved vintage original. The large headstock maple neck features a comfortable late-’60s “C” profile and a round-lam AAA dark rosewood fingerboard (9.5" radius, 21 narrow tall frets) for silky bends and modern playability.

The pickups are hot-rodded for the stage: Handwound ’69 Strat single coils in the neck and middle (with RWRP for hum canceling) and a Seymour Duncan SH-4B Zebra humbucker in the bridge. A 5-way CRL switch and Strat Vintage '68-'69 Relic wiring unlock a huge palette of tones—from sparkling cleans to high-gain punch—while vintage-style hardware, parchment relic pickguard, and aged white knobs deliver authentic Fender Custom Shop looks.
