The classic Lake Placid Blue in a tastefully subtle, lightly aged finish captures the vintage essence of this historically significant recreation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in 2023, this guitar is in perfect condition - as it left Fender Custom Shop. The case is in perfect condition, and has all its case candy including comprehensive build sheet from the factory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck of this instrument features a 7.25” to 9.5” compound radius, getting subtly flatter up the neck as the fretboard widens out. This virtually imperceptible change in radius makes bends easier up the neck, and mitigates ‘fretting out’ which can happen with the tighter vintage 7.25” radius. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck features a curved ‘veneer’ rosewood board - which historically appeared mid 1962, white micarta fretboard markers and medium vintage 47095 fret wire. The 1963 Strat style C profile has enough heft to feel decidedly vintage, with subtly rounded corners and slim enough 42mm nut width to be comfortably handled by the majority of players. At 3.66gk (8lbs) - the weight of this guitar is right in the middle ‘goldilocks’ zone. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTonally, the guitar is equipped with a set of hand-wound Custom Shop ’60\/’63 Strat Relic single coil pickups, measuring 5.46k at the neck, 5.66k at the middle (RWRP) and 5.86k at the bridge. Giving a very even balance across the set. These low resistance windings are perfectly suited to the open, clear character of a great 60s Stratocaster. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all original hardware, perfect condition with OHSC, case candy and comprehensive build sheet and documentation, this is a fantastic piece for the collector or serious player wanting the best in 1960s recreations the Fender Custom Shop has to offer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e______________________________\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBrand: Fender\u003cbr\u003eModel: Limited Edition ’62’63 Strat Journeyman\u003cbr\u003eCountry: USA\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2023\u003cbr\u003eSerial: CZ57XXXX\u003cbr\u003eCase: OHSC\u003cbr\u003eBody: Lake Placid Blue\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Natural\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Nitro\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Material: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5”\u003cbr\u003eFrets: 21\u003cbr\u003eRadius: 7.25-9.5 Compound Radius\u003cbr\u003eProfile: 63 Strat Style “C”\u003cbr\u003eAction (Low E): 2mm\u003cbr\u003eNut: 42mm\u003cbr\u003e12th Fret: 51.7mm\u003cbr\u003e1st Fret Depth: 20.9mm\u003cbr\u003e12th Fret Depth: 25.3mm\u003cbr\u003ePickups: HW 60\/63 Strat Relic\u003cbr\u003eResistance: \u003cbr\u003eNeck=5.46K, Middle=5.66k, Bridge=5.86k\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: Original\u003cbr\u003eKnobs: Strat\u003cbr\u003ePick Guard: 3 ply\u003cbr\u003eTuners: “Fender” Single Line Kluson\u003cbr\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.66kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43220136329278,"sku":null,"price":6800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/7489\/2350\/files\/1FenderStratocaster6263CustomShopLakePlacidBlue_60fde82a-f34a-4fdc-806d-ed627410b5c0.jpg?v=1787274609","url":"https:\/\/fretboardjungle.com\/products\/fender-limited-edition-62-63-stratocaster-journeyman-aged-lake-placid-blue-2023","provider":"Fretboard Jungle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
