Overview

Weight: 7 lbs 6 ozs

Bring the spirit of the late-’60s Fender golden era to the stage with the Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in Red Sparkle. This Custom Shop creation fuses iconic vintage features, contemporary playability, and a show-stopping Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish that’s aged for the vibe of a lovingly worn original.

At its heart is a lightweight, sorted 2-piece ash body finished in dazzling Red Sparkle. The large headstock maple neck sports a late-’60s “C” profile, 9.5" radius, and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, offering a silky, modern feel while retaining period-correct looks. The 4-bolt neck plate and sculpted neck heel provide vintage aesthetics and comfortable access all the way up the fretboard.

Loaded with a trio of handwound ’69 Strat Relic single-coil pickups (RWRP middle for hum canceling), vintage wiring, and a 5-way CRL switch, this Strat delivers legendary late-’60s chime, punch, and clarity—ideal for blues, classic rock, and psychedelic textures.

A parchment relic pickguard, aged white knobs, American Vintage Strat tremolo, Schaller F key relic tuners, and a bone nut complete the package. Every detail is meticulously relic’d by Fender’s Custom Shop experts for authentic, lived-in feel and killer vintage vibe.
