The Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Stratocaster Journeyman in Bleached 3-Tone Sunburst combines the timeless aesthetics and unmistakable character of a vintage Stratocaster with carefully selected modern refinements. Built around a two-piece alder body, this instrument features a beautifully aged Journeyman Relic flash-coat lacquer finish that delivers the look and feel of a well-loved classic. The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable 1959 "D" profile and is paired with a 9.5"-12" compound-radius fingerboard, providing a familiar vintage feel with added comfort and playability across the entire neck. Additional appointments include 21 narrow-tall 6105 frets, a bone nut, black Micarta dot inlays, and traditional four-bolt neck construction.

A set of hand-wound Dual Mag II Strat pickups delivers the dynamic response, clarity, and unmistakable tonal character associated with the finest Custom Shop instruments. The reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup helps reduce unwanted hum in the in-between positions, while the versatile five-way switching and custom ½ blender wiring expand the available tonal possibilities. A tone-saver treble bleed circuit helps preserve clarity as the volume is rolled back, offering additional control over the instrument's response. Traditional Fender appointments include a Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage Fender tuning machines, nickel/chrome hardware, and a classic 63-76 Strat parchment pickguard. Finished in a beautifully understated Bleached 3-Tone Sunburst, this Postmodern Stratocaster is an exceptional blend of vintage inspiration, modern refinement, and Custom Shop craftsmanship. Complete with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
