This Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Apprentice 1962 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in Foam Green is a masterfully crafted tribute to the golden era of Leo Fender’s most iconic design. Featuring a resonant two-piece alder body finished in a lightly aged Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar offers the played-in feel of a well-loved vintage instrument without excessive wear. Its performance is driven by a set of hand-wired Fat '60s pickups, delivering a punchy, overwound take on classic single-coil chime with enhanced low-end warmth. The quartersawn maple neck is carved into a comfortable ’60 Style Oval “C” profile, topped with a premium AAA rosewood fingerboard that provides a smooth, dark aesthetic and rich harmonic complexity.
Built under the meticulous guidance of a Master Builder, this apprentice-level creation serves as a high-performance bridge between the Custom Shop’s standard production and the pinnacle of bespoke craftsmanship.
All instruments from Music Makers are professionally evaluated and set-up in our historic Galesburg, IL. storefront prior to shipping.
