A dream-spec Masterbuilt creation: 2026 Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic, meticulously crafted by Senior Master Builder Dennis Galuszka.

Finished in iconic custom-color Sea Foam Green under a breathable Thin-Skin nitrocellulose lacquer, this instrument brings together some of the most sought-after vintage-inspired appointments available from the Custom Shop. The foundation is a selected lightweight Roasted Alder body, paired with an intensely 3D 4A Roasted Flame Maple neck and an exquisite dark Brazilian Rosewood slab fingerboard (stamped "USA ONLY" on the back of the headstock).

Galuszka’s Journeyman Relic finish delivers tasteful weather checking and lightly aged vintage hardware, giving it the broken-in feel of a treasured golden-era instrument without heavy artificial wear

Key Highlights & Tone:

• Craftsmanship: Handbuilt by Dennis Galuszka, featuring vintage-accurate 1957 deep body contours and comfortable rolled fingerboard edges.
• Neck & Playability: Substantial and tactile Large "C" profile (.850"–.990") with modern player-grade specs—a 9.50" radius and Jumbo 6100 frets for smooth vibrato and choke-free bends.
• Acoustic & Electric Resonance: Exceptionally resonant and dynamic, powered by a calibrated set of Handwound Tomatillo pickups paired with Fat '50s 1/2 Blender wiring (allowing you to blend neck and bridge pickups in positions 1 and 2).
• Weight: Incredibly light and perfectly balanced at just 7 lbs 7.7 oz (3.39 kg).
• Package: Mint, unplayed relic condition. Complete with original G&G deluxe hardshell case, Masterbuilt Certificate of Authenticity (COA) leather booklet, Shop Floor Traveler specification sheet, custom strap, tremolo arm, bridge cover, and full case candy.
