The Musik Haus is proud to be selected as a Fender Custom Shop dealer, offering some of the finest instruments in the world. As Fender puts it: “Custom Shop builders are part craftsman, part artist, part music fan—and often, part mad scientist… the creations that come from it are no ordinary instruments.” Whether you're chasing your dream guitar or recreating a vintage classic, the Custom Shop brings that vision to life. 

True story: I once stood in front of; and played two identical guitars—one an original late-’50s model, the other a brand-new Custom Shop build. I couldn’t tell them apart. The tone, the feel, the mojo—identical. The team just smiled: “That’s what we do.” These guitars aren’t just collectibles. They’re legacy instruments—meant to be played, passed down, and loved. 

We at Musik Haus are musicians, too. Let us help you find (or build) the guitar you've always dreamed of.  Who knows?  It might already be here, waiting for you, and here is one for your consideration.

About this Fender Custom Shop Electric Guitar

Weight for this guitar:  7 lbs. 12 oz.

New for 2024, the Fender Custom Shop introduces the 1959 Stratocaster® Journeyman Relic®. The two-piece select alder body wears Journeyman Relic® lacquer finishes in Super Faded Aged Shell Pink, Super Faded Aged Sonic Blue, Faded Aged Sea Foam Green and Faded Aged Sherwood Green Metallic for the authentically worn-in look and feel of a family heirloom instrument that’s been handed down through the years.

Classic appointments from the end of the decade are featured up and down the guitar: quartersawn maple neck with ’59-style “D” back-shape and flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard bring out the best in tone and playability. Armed with a trio of Custom Shop hand-wound Fat ‘50s Stratocaster® pickups, Vintage Modified #2 wiring and Tone-Save bleed circuitry, there’s no shortage of sought after golden era tone.

Other premium features include 9.5" radius, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, 5-way switch, 3-ply mint green pickguard, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, wing string tree with tall metal spacer, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
