Custom Shop Stratocaster electric guitar in mid-sixties style, including case and certificate
The Fender 1964 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Aged Aztec Gold from the Fender Time Machine Series evokes classic mid-sixties flair. Representing the last year of the famed 'Pre-CBS' era, this Stratocaster combines the best features of the era and relies on hand-wound Custom Shop '64 single coils with reverse-poled and wound mid-pickup for hum-free mid positions. Additionally, a Greasebucket Tone Circuit is used for coherent roll-offs of the Tone knob and the Vintage Modified #2 Wiring is used, which provides a separate tone control for the bridge pickup. Of course, the 1964 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Aged Aztec Gold relies on a superb tonewood selection in the form of hand-selected ash for the body and an extremely sturdy and resonant Quarter Sawn Maple neck with bold flame. The 1964 Stratocaster is completed by a hardware set up appropriate for its time and visually consistent details of its era in the form of mother-of-pearl dot inlays, an aged Aztec Gold Finish and historically accurate gold 'Transition' logo on the headstock.
The 1964 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Aged Aztec Gold presents itself as a collection of the best features of the 'pre-CBS' era.
