Vintage tone, custom feel, timeless style

This is a 1959 Strat reissue that captures the soul of the golden era with the playability and reliability of a modern Custom Shop build. Finished in a beautifully worn Faded Aged Sea Foam Green, this Journeyman Relic wears its age like a favourite pair of jeans — tastefully distressed, never overdone. It's got all the vibe without going full museum piece.

Classic appointments from the end of the decade are featured up and down the guitar: quartersawn maple neck with ’59-style “D” back-shape and flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard bring out the best in tone and playability. Armed with a trio of Custom Shop hand-wound Fat ‘50s Stratocaster® pickups, Vintage Modified #2 wiring and Tone-Save bleed circuitry, there’s no shortage of sought after golden era tone.

With this piece of art, you get chime, sparkle, and woody midrange that only a well-built Strat can deliver. It handles clean tones with grace and edge-of-breakup textures with touch sensitivity that’s incredibly inspiring. From surf to blues, funk to fusion, this guitar has the tonal palette to cover it all.

Other premium features include 9.5" radius, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, 5-way switch, 3-ply mint green pickguard, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, wing string tree with tall metal spacer, deluxe hard-shell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
