To celebrate 70 years of the Stratocaster® — the platinum anniversary of the world's greatest electric guitar — the Fender Custom Shop introduces the Limited Edition Roasted '54 Stratocaster® Journeyman Relic®. Its 2-piece select ash body (with offset seam on the treble side) resonates with singing highs, sweet midrange and tight lows, and wears a sensational Journeyman Relic® lacquer finish in Wide Fade Chocolate 2-Color Sunburst.

The 1-piece roasted quartersawn maple neck is fashioned with a special 70th anniversary Soft "V" profile based on an incredible Strat® neck from July 1954, topped by a 9.5"-radius fingerboard with 21 narrow tall (6105) frets and a 1.625" bone nut. 3 Custom Shop hand-wound '54 Strat® pickups deliver that classic Strat® voice with clear, bell-like highs, routed through vintage '54 Strat® wiring with wax paper cap and 5-way switching.

All in all it's a distinctive combination of 1950s-inspired aesthetics, with other premium features including an 8-hole gold anodized pickguard, 1954-style ABS white pickup covers and control knobs, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners, disc string tree, special 70th Anniversary Stratocaster® neck plate, deluxe embroidered hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
