Each Fender Custom Shop instrument is a rare, limited - edition piece available for a short time only. This makes it a highly collectible item and a great investment. These guitars are crafted with features usually reserved for top - tier artists and masterbuilt instruments. They're exactly what their name implies: highly anticipated, exclusive models. Based on vintage designs and upgraded by Fender's skilled artisans, they offer unique playing experiences. The guitar has a Stratocaster®™ body shape made of 2 - piece Alder with a Lacquer Journeyman finish. The 60s Style Oval 'C' neck profile and a Round Laminated Rosewood fretboard (9mm, AAA) with a 9.5' radius and 21 Narrow Tall (6105) frets provide a great playing feel. It comes with Handwound 60's Strat® Single - Coil pickups, an American Vintage Strat® bridge, a 3 - Ply Mint Green pickguard, and strings in .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046 gauges. The Vintage - Style tuning machines with the Fender logo and Nickel/Chrome Relic hardware finish add to its charm. It also includes an FCS Strat/Tele Brown Case.
Using your Fender Custom Shop 1963 Stratocaster Journeyman Guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines. You can use a guitar tuner for accurate tuning. Plug it into an amplifier and start strumming or picking. The pickups give you different tones, so play around with the controls to find your favorite sound. When not in use, always keep it in the provided FCS Strat/Tele Brown Case to protect it from dust and damage. Clean the fretboard regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it in good condition. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can warp the wood or damage the electronics. Also, change the strings every few months for the best sound quality.
