Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster Journeyman - Shell Pink Burst

The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster captures the look, feel, and character of one of the most iconic eras in electric guitar history, with a set of hand-wound ’60s Strat pickups delivering the unmistakable clarity, snap, and musicality that made the original instruments so legendary. From its vintage-inspired appointments to its carefully aged character, this is a Stratocaster that feels remarkably authentic in the hands.

What truly sets this guitar apart, however, is its stunning Shell Pink Burst finish. The beautiful pink perimeter gradually fades into an Olympic White center, creating a striking burst that is both unique and exceptionally tasteful. It is a finish that looks fantastic from across the room, but really comes alive up close, where the subtle transition between the colors reveals just how much care went into the Custom Shop treatment.

The Shell Pink Burst also provides the perfect canvas for the relic work. The finish checking is particularly convincing, with intricate, naturally varied lines throughout the body that give the guitar the appearance of decades of genuine aging. Rather than simply looking “relic’d,” the complex checking and beautifully weathered finish create an authentic sense of history and character. This is a particularly special Custom Shop Stratocaster for anyone who appreciates vintage aesthetics, exceptional Fender craftsmanship, and a guitar with a personality all its own.
