Traded: Fender Custom Shop ‘63 HSS relic Stratocaster sea foam green

matt1973 · August 2018

This superb Journeyman Strat was acquired as a preowned instrument from SoundAffects Premier earlier this year by @Guitarmansteve, it came to me in a trade and I have had the pleasure of using this wonderful guitar for the last few months.

It features a HSS config with a SD59 in the bridge that balances really well with the Ancho Poblano single coils in the neck and middle. It’s a team built model the purports to have been specified by John Cruz.

Original Sound Affects description and spec:

Originally spec'd as a special order between John Cruz and a Fender Custom Shop dealer, we have for sale this Custom Shop '63 Journeyman Stratocaster. Finished in a striking Aged Sea Foam Green, with an authentic-looking crackle and wear to the paint, this very-playable guitar boasts Hand-Wound Ancho Poblano Pickups in the neck and middle position, which deliver a complex set of high-output tones. The Seymour Duncan '59 fitted at the bridge gives a scooped mid range, whilst never compromising a full bottom end and sparkling highs. The maple neck is authentically smoothed for maximum playing comfort. This guitar comes with a matching black vinyl G&G hardcase, with all case candy present and correct.
