Fender Postmodern Journeyman Relic Stratocaster 3CS MN

General

The Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Journeyman Stratocaster combines a classic design with modern features. This Relic version has a timeless 3-colour Sunburst finish. The neck is made of quarter-sawn maple and has a compound fretboard radius. This makes playing chords easier and means that strings pressed during solos aren't cut off prematurely. Of course, this Fender also produces the famous sparkling tones you'd expect thanks to a lightweight body made of ash. With the Postmodern Relic Strat you get the best of old and new combined.

Custom Shop Postmodern Relic Stratocaster: sound

The Stratocaster's versatility has always set it apart from other models. This particular model has some clever features of its own that make a wide range of sounds accessible. The Postmodern NOS Strat is fitted with three extra-wound Custom Shop Fat '60's single-coil pickups for a bit of extra output. The middle pickup is reverse wound with reverse polarity. This prevents unwanted hum when the 5-way pickup switch is in position 2 or 4. High frequencies remain even at lower volumes thanks to a Tone Saver treble-bleed circuit on the volume potentiometer. This means you should always get the best Strat sounds.

With the Postmodern Series, the Fender Custom Shop's goal is to produce classic guitar models like the Stratocaster and Telecaster with the latest features. All of the models have a round laminated, maple fretboard with a compound radius that goes from 9.5 to 12 inches. The Relic versions have a lightly weathered finish. The result is a contemporary classic with the characteristics of a vintage guitar that has been well used and looked after. Together with your top-quality instrument, you will receive a luxury case, a guitar strap, an instrument cable, a CruzTools Toolkit and a certificate of authenticity.
