Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Roasted Stratocaster Journeyman Closet Classic in Fiesta Red

Roasted Ash

The already perfect combination of an Ash body, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard but made even better! Roasting the Ash body in effect, ages and seasons the wood to absolute perfection. All moisture, sugars and saps are roasted away, leaving you with a piece of timber which feels like it's been seasoned for 100 years. Perfectly resonant and often more lightweight. Wonderfully complemented by its Quater Sawn Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, this Strat is resonant and lively with increased sustain and overtone.

Fender Custom Shop

The Fender Dream Factory… Fender’s best luthiers, using the best materials and tools all under one roof with the single unified mission of building the best guitars that Fender has ever produced. Founded in 1987, the Custom Shop was established to take Fender’s manufacturing back to its roots with smaller production numbers and higher quality. Famed for pushing Leo's designs to their absolute limits, the Custom Shop is the benchmark to which all other Fender electric guitars are compared to!

• 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. Its Closet Classic hardware keeps things looking tidy while still looking honest and true.
• Quartersawn Maple - Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.
• Modern Flat Oval - Fender ultimate one-size-fits-all neck profile! Ergonomical and fast, with the perfect amount of wood to hold on to. Its flatter oval shape ensures things feel agile and streamlined all the way up the neck!
