Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Gold Sparkle

Weight: 7lb 11.6oz

Overview

The Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in Gold Sparkle channels the bold look and unmistakable sound of late-’60s Strat tone with a refined modern feel. Built by the Fender Custom Shop and finished in a beautifully aged Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar strikes the perfect balance between vintage authenticity and comfortable playability. The ash body offers lively resonance and clarity, while the maple neck—shaped in a Large "C" profile—provides a solid, familiar grip.

Loaded with Custom Shop '69 hand-wound pickups, this Strat delivers sparkling highs, scooped mids, and classic glassy cleans that defined the era. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo and 5-way switching provide the expressive versatility that Strat players demand. Every detail—from the aged hardware to the historically accurate appointments—reflects the craftsmanship and heritage of Fender’s golden age, reimagined for the modern player.
