Up for sale is a stunning, highly desirable 2015 Fender Custom Shop '63 Reissue Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in a classic Olympic White nitrocellulose finish.
2015 was a landmark year for the Fender Custom Shop, as it marked the official introduction of the "Journeyman Relic" finish tier—perfectly capturing the look and feel of a guitar that has been lovingly played, well-cared for, and naturally checked over decades without the heavy artificial abuse of traditional relics. This guitar is in Mint Condition, remaining entirely pristine and exactly as it left the factory, showing strictly the original factory-intended relic wear. The playability is incredibly smooth, the resonance is outstanding, and it delivers that legendary early-'60s scooped Strat chime with authority.
