This Dealer Exclusive “Flamethrower” Journeyman Relic is one of the most striking and refined Custom Shop Stratocasters to emerge in recent years. The Ocean Turquoise finish, lightly aged under Fender’s Journeyman treatment, gives it a sophisticated vintage aesthetic with subtle wear and tons of depth — truly stunning against the AAAA flamed maple neck and AAA rosewood board.The Mid-’60s Oval C neck is one of the most comfortable Fender profiles ever designed — super fast and ergonomic, with just the right amount of shoulder for grip. The compound 9.5"–16" radius and 6100 jumbo frets make this Strat feel smooth, slick, and modern under the fingers while retaining classic Fender charm.
Tonally, the Custom Shop 60’s pickups provide glassy top-end sparkle, punchy mids, and the unmistakable bell-like clarity of a well-wound vintage set. The modern control layout and 250K split-taper pots give a refined sweep and dynamic tonal range, making this one as versatile as it is collectible.
Every detail from the sorted-for-light-weight alder body to the thin nitro finish and hand-selected flame neck speaks to Fender’s absolute best craftsmanship. A perfect fusion of vintage vibe and modern precision.
