Presented for your consideration is this stunning 2016 Fender Custom Shop ’63 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic, finished in a beautifully aged Sonic Blue. This is a classic Custom Shop build that perfectly captures the look, feel, and tone of an early ’60s Strat, with tasteful relic work that adds vintage character without excessive wear.

Overall, the guitar is in very good used condition. The Journeyman Relic treatment provides light, authentic-looking aging, and the instrument has been very well cared for. Aside from the factory relic finish, there is only minimal additional play wear.

Tone is everything you’d expect from a great Custom Shop Strat. The original factory pickups deliver a rich, articulate voice with exceptional clarity, chime, and sustain. From glassy cleans to punchy blues and classic rock tones, this Strat responds beautifully and sits perfectly in a mix.

Playability is outstanding. The neck feels fantastic in hand, the action is set low and comfortable, and there is no fret wear to note. It plays effortlessly up and down the fingerboard, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.

If you’re looking for a premium Custom Shop Stratocaster with a timeless finish, vintage vibe, and superb tone, this one will not disappoint.

Condition, Shipping, & Setup Details:

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.

It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.

The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
