Fender Custom Shop NAMM Limited Edition #167 '65 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in Aged Vintage White

Key Features

• Compound Radius - With its rounder 9.50’’ radius by the nut and flatter 12’’ radius from the 12th fret, this '65 Strat offers maximum comfort up and down the neck.
• Journeyman Relic Nitro Finish – Expertly aged and relic’d to look like it has been your most prized possession for over 50 years. Lightly aged and checkered with some honest playwear, but generally in a condition that shows this guitar was meticulously looked after and cherished.
• ‘65 C - Comfortable vintage-styled C-shaped neck profile. Fast feeling with a slightly larger profile than earlier ‘60s examples.

Wound in-house by the Fender Custom Shop, these ‘65 Stratocaster pickups are the perfect complement to this Custom Shop ‘65 Stratocaster. Well-balanced and focused with a bell-like tone, these pickups replicate some of the most sought-after electric guitar tones in history using the same components found on the originals, such as Alnico V magnets and Formvar wire. The middle pickup is reverse wound/reverse-polarity for noise free performance in positions 2 and 4.
