USED Fender Custom Shop / Limited Edition 1968 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Aged Surf Green [05]

A beautiful, used Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1968 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic has arrived!

The combination of the refreshing Aged Surf Green finish and the large headstock is striking, making this a guitar that lets you fully experience the unique vibe of a 1968–69 era Stratocaster.

The body is crafted from carefully selected two-piece alder. Weighing 3.74 kg, it offers just the right amount of heft, resulting in a well-balanced instrument with ample resonance and stability. The neck is made of quarter-sawn maple, which enhances strength and rigidity, contributing to clear articulation and excellent response.

Perhaps the greatest appeal of this instrument is its thick neck, which adopts the 1969 “U” shape. It offers a solid grip, delivering a rich, full-bodied tone and a high level of rigidity. With a presence that sets it apart from the slim necks of recent years, you’ll truly feel that the neck itself underpins the sound of the entire instrument. It produces a powerful, rich resonance during chord playing and a solid, defining presence when playing single notes.

In terms of sound, the guitar is equipped with three hand-wound Bone Tone single-coil pickups. Characterized by a responsive, taut sound, they stand out for their exceptional tracking of your picking. You’ll enjoy a clean tone with clear definition and excellent projection, while the crunch delivers a crisp, Strat-like attack. In particular, the fast attack and lustrous high frequencies—hallmarks of a maple neck—are among this model’s greatest charms.

Additionally, the combination of a 7.25"–9.5" compound radius fingerboard and narrow-tall (6105) frets ensures excellent playability while maintaining a vintage-style look. You can play everything from low chords to bends in the high frets with ease.

This is a special, limited-edition model that we highly recommend to players who seek the look and feel of a vintage Stratocaster while prioritizing responsiveness and modern playability.

This is a used guitar in excellent condition.
