Fender Custom Shop 63 Strat Journeyman Relic w/Rosewood Neck in Sonic Blue R132691

This Fender Custom Shop 63 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic in Sonic Blue weighs 7 lbs 13 oz. It features the same spec's as our super-successful 63 Strat Journeyman Relic's but with one G.A.S. inducing change... A Rosewood Neck!  A Rosewood Neck is not only aesthetically beautiful but also drastically changes the tone of an instrument. Rosewood is not as bright-sounding, nor does it snap and pop as Maple can. Rosewood seems to swallow a bit of the plosive or initial attack of heavily struck notes, giving it a smoother, warmer, and richer tone. This Strat would serve great as any Rhythm Players #1 or for anyone who finds the typical Strat too bright or shrill. Want a warmer than brighter Strat? Here it is! The neck dimensions start with a familiar 60s Oval C shape that measures .790" in depth at the 1st fret and .930" at the 12th fret. If you have previously played one of our 63s, this is the same profile. The fingerboard is made with a separate AAA-Rated Piece of Rosewood that has a 9.5"
