Description

The Fender Custom Shop 70th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic pays homage to the world’s most influential electric guitar, finished in a striking Candy Apple Red that sets this limited edition apart from the crowd. Its lightweight, off-center ash body echoes the earliest Strats, while the smooth AAA Birdseye maple neck features a period-correct shape and a comfortable 9.5" radius for modern players.

A trio of handwound Fat ‘50s pickups delivers bell-like clarity, dynamic response, and the unmistakable chime that defines a classic Strat. The Journeyman Relic finish offers the perfect blend of vintage looks and a naturally worn-in feel. Complete with a commemorative 70th Anniversary case and accessory kit, this Strat is both a collector’s dream and a stage-ready performer.
