More than 65 years after its namesake predecessor, the instrument is loaded with looks, sound and vibe that expertly evokes the Stratocaster in its original golden era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-piece select ash body exudes balanced highs and sweet midrange with lively resonance, with an off-center seam and wrapped in stately Journeyman Relic flash coat lacquer finishes in Aged White Blonde, Wide Fade Two-Color Sunburst, Aged Black and Aged Sherwood Metallic. This special treatment imparts the look of a guitar that has changed hands or been handed down over the years, mostly played around the house and the occasional jam session or weekend gig. This generally well-cared-for look includes light finish checking, several \"friendly\" down-to-the-wood nicks and dings, some dulling of the hardware, and general moderate playing wear. The look of a very lucky find, in short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one-piece flat-sawn maple neck has a chunky '54-style Soft \"V\" profile, topped by a comfortable vintage compound-radius (7.25\"-9.5\") maple fingerboard that flattens slightly toward the nut for easy bending, with 21 medium vintage (47095) frets and a bone nut. All three Custom Shop hand-wound '55 Strat® pickups (reverse-wound\/reverse-polarity middle pickup for hum cancellation in switch positions 2 and 4) deliver crystal-clear highs and well-balanced midrange, with '54-'58 vintage Strat wiring and five-way switching. Other premium features include a single-ply parchment pickguard, Custom Shop vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners, wing string tree with nylon spacer, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Name: 1956 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic, Maple Neck - Wide-Fade 2-Color Sunburst\u003cbr\u003eModel #: 9236081216\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral\u003cbr\u003eSERIES: Time Machine™\u003cbr\u003eORIENTATION: Right-Hand\u003cbr\u003eCOLOR: Wide-Fade 2-Color Sunburst\u003cbr\u003eCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eHEADSTOCK: Stratocaster® Small\u003cbr\u003eNECK MATERIAL: Maple\u003cbr\u003eNECK FINISH: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNECK SHAPE: 1954 \"Soft V\"\u003cbr\u003eNECK THICKNESS: .940\"\u003cbr\u003eNECK BUTT WIDTH: 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003eNECK THICKNESS 12TH FRET: .970\"\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD RADIUS: 7.25\" to 9.5\" Vintage Compound Radius (184 mm to 241 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD MATERIAL: 1-Piece Maple Neck\u003cbr\u003ePOSITION INLAYS: Black Micarta Dot, 0.25\" (6.35 mm)\u003cbr\u003eSIDE DOTS: Black Micarta, 3\/32\" (2.38 mm)\u003cbr\u003eNUMBER OF FRETS: 21\u003cbr\u003eTRUSS ROD: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003cbr\u003eSTRING NUT: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNUT WIDTH: 1.625\" (41.3 mm)\u003cbr\u003eNUT MATERIAL: Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eBODY: 2-Piece Offset Seam Ash\u003cbr\u003eBODY FINISH: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBODY SHAPE: Stratocaster®\u003cbr\u003eBODY MATERIAL: 2-Piece Offset Seam Ash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBRIDGE: Custom Shop Vintage Synchronized Tremolo\u003cbr\u003ePICKGUARD: 1-Ply Parchment\u003cbr\u003eCONTROL KNOBS: Vintage White Plastic\u003cbr\u003eSWITCH TIP: Vintage White\u003cbr\u003eHARDWARE FINISH: Nickel\/Chrome\u003cbr\u003eTUNING MACHINES: Vintage-Style with Fender® Logo\u003cbr\u003eSTRING TREES: Vintage-Style Disc\u003cbr\u003eSTRINGS: Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges), PN 0730250406\u003cbr\u003eTREMOLO ARM: Vintage-Style Tremolo Arm\u003cbr\u003eNECK PLATE: 4-Bolt with Custom Shop \"V\" Logo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '55 Single-Coil Strat®\u003cbr\u003eMIDDLE PICKUP: Custom Shop Hand-Wound RWRP '55 Single-Coil Strat®\u003cbr\u003eNECK PICKUP: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '55 Single-Coil Strat®\u003cbr\u003ePICKUP CONFIGURATION: SSS\u003cbr\u003eCONTROLS: Master Volume, Tone 1.
