USED Fender Custom Shop / 2023 Postmodern Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Aged Black [06]

A used 2023 postmodern Stratocaster is now in stock, a fusion of old and modern Fenders with excellent playability!
This model is one of the most modern models in the Custom Shop Collection lineup, and is recommended for players who are active in the forefront of the industry.

This model features a 2-piece Alder body with Lacquer "Journeyman Relic" finish and a Rift Sawn Maple neck. Round-Laminated Rosewood fingerboard.
1959 "D" neck shape is thin in the low position and moderately thick in the high position, with a 9.5"-12" Compound Radius fretboard radius that flattens from the low position to the 12th fret, and a Narrow Tall (6105) fret size. The fret size is Narrow Tall (6105) with 21 frets, which is standard for modern spec models in recent years.

The pickups are "Custom Shop Hand-Wound Dual-Mag II Strat", which uses two different character magnets (Alnico 5 without beveling on strings 6 to 4 and Alnico 2 with beveling on strings 3 to 1) instead of the usual one magnet. ), the pickups produce a well-balanced output with a fat tone with a sense of attack on the lower strings and a clear, sparkling sound on the higher strings.
The middle PU is "RWRP (Reverse wind, Reverse polarity)", which provides a hum canceling effect at half tone.
The controls are "Master Volume, Master Tone, 1/2 Blend", which allows a mixed sound of the front PU to be output when the bridge PU or bridge + middle PU is selected, providing a rich sound variation. (Tone 2 adjusts the amount of mix).
In addition, the contoured heel of the neck joint and deep cuts on the elbow and back contours provide a comfortable playing feel in every detail.

The condition of the guitar is difficult to distinguish due to its relic finish, but there are scratches around the neck PU caused by picking, and the paint around the neck back joint has been additionally scraped. However, the damage does not seem to have significantly affected the atmosphere of the instrument.
The attached arm is bent in the middle of the screw, and when turning and inserting it, the movement is hard and it does not go all the way in.
The strap pins are the original Jim Dunlop locking pins, and the strap side has been changed from the one that came with the original, but they are the same nickel color, so there is no sense of discomfort when combined.
The pickguard was replaced once, but has now been returned to the original. The pickguard that was replaced (manufacturer unknown) is also included.
The guitar has been cleaned, adjusted, and the frets have been fretted, so it can be used without any playing problems.

This guitar is highly recommended for those who are looking for an easy-to-handle Strat without being particular about vintage specs, or for players who are active on the front line.
