Personal Thoughts:
This is one of those “best of all worlds” guitars. The Journeyman relicing gives it a lovely worn-in feel without the extreme wear, and the pickup configuration makes it uniquely versatile. You get that sweet midrange from the Fat ’50s, a punchy bridge from the ’60s, and Texas grit in the middle.
The 10/56 V-shape neck is substantial yet ergonomic—combined with the 12" radius and narrow tall frets, it’s effortless to play whether you're into bending blues leads or fast runs. A serious pro's Strat with tons of character.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition with only the Custom Shop relicing visible. No wear beyond factory specs. Frets are great, setup is dialed, and the hardware has a tasteful vintage patina. One of the most well-balanced modern Strats Fender Custom Shop has produced.
