Seller's description

The Fender Custom Shop 1956 Stratocaster Hardtail Journeyman Relic offers a distinctive take on one of Fender's most iconic designs. Part of the 2026 Summer Collection, this Strat pairs the unmistakable feel of a mid-'50s Stratocaster with the increased sustain and resonance of a vintage-style hardtail bridge. Finished in a beautifully aged Dirty White Blonde Journeyman Relic lacquer over a lightweight Yes Sort two-piece off-center alder body, it delivers classic Fender character with a unique Custom Shop personality. The maple neck features a substantial 10/56 "V" profile, measuring .900" at the 1st fret and .980" at the 12th fret for an authentic vintage grip. A compound 7.25"-9.5" radius fingerboard, 21 Vintage Upgrade frets, and a dark tinted nitrocellulose lacquer finish provide vintage styling while offering a more accommodating playing experience for modern musicians. Every detail, from the aged hardware to the parchment appointments, reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the Fender Custom Shop. A trio of Hand-Wound '56 Strat Relic pickups delivers the unmistakable sparkle, warmth, and dynamic response of an exceptional vintage Stratocaster. Combined with the hardtail bridge, these pickups produce outstanding sustain, focused attack, and exceptional note clarity. Whether you're chasing vintage-inspired cleans, expressive blues tones, or classic rock crunch, this Custom Shop Stratocaster is built to inspire.
