The Postmodern Strat is a dream for both vintage enthusiasts and modern players. It features a two - piece select alder or ash body with a contoured neck heel and deep '57 contours, finished with a perfectly worn Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer. The rift - sawn maple neck has a fat 1959 'D' profile, a compound - radius (9.5' - 12') round - lam rosewood fingerboard, and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets. A trio of hand - wound Dual Mag II pickups, with a reverse - wound/reverse - polarity middle pickup, deliver well - balanced tones, clear highs, and rich lows. The '½ blender' wiring with tone saver treble bleed allows the bridge pickup to blend in positions 1 and 2. Other highlights include a five - way switch, three - ply black pickguard, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage - style tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree with metal spacer. Comes with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
Using your Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Strat Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines. The five - way switch lets you choose different pickup combinations for various sounds. When you play, the hand - wound Dual Mag II pickups will give you great tones. Remember to handle the guitar gently, especially the delicate Journeyman Relic finish. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. For maintenance, clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding good. Wipe down the body and neck to prevent dust build - up. If you're not using the guitar for a while, store it in the deluxe hardshell case to protect it.
