On your marks.

Providing spins on classic Fender tenets in so many different ways, Postmodern series Fender Custom Shop guitars offer a true break from the traditional. This Fender Custom Postmodern Strat begins with a two-piece guitar and bass ash body. Featuring Fender's Deep '57 body contours for an up-close-and-personal feel on the hip or over the knee, this Postmodern Strat's body provides a classically resonant feel and sound. The classic Fender tonewood additionally acts as a marvelous canvas on which a Fender Custom Shop Journeyman Relic lacquer finish is splashed upon. Journeyman Relic, a fan-favorite level of wear from the Custom Shop, introduces charming chips, checks, spots, and specks for a lovingly worn guitar.

Moving past its deep green double-cutaway body, this Postmodern Strat ups the ante on its postmodernism with its neck. A quartersawn rosewood neck extends out from this body assuming a classic '60 Style Oval "C" profile. The model's rich rosewood neck exhibits deep streaking as expounded by a combination of a satin lacquer finish and an unfinished Relic back translating a unique experience visually and tangibly. What's more, this Postmodern Stratocaster features a contoured neck heel for smooth access to higher frets. Filling out to a flat lam slab AAA fingerboard bearing twenty-one 6105 Narrow Tall frets and measuring to a compound 9.5"-12" radius, this neck is not only visually exquisite, but highly playable.

This Postmodern Strat plays with a unique tonal palette, to say the least. Unique handwound Troposphere single-coil pickups produce a softer, darker, underwound sound and feel that play amazingly with lower-headroom tube amps. The pickups' middle position features noise-cancelling reverse-wound, reverse-polarity winding for cleanliness across the whole five-position sweep. Postmodern Fat '50s Strat wiring and 250K 10% split taper pots mix through these pickups' tones vividly.

Backing everything up here, this Custom Shop Stratocaster features a sturdy hardware setup. An RSD Strat bridge lands at the base of this guitar's scale with Vintage-Style tuning machines and a bone nut matching at the opposite end. Across this model, Fender Custom Shop Relic hardware treatments inch its age to a charmingly worn complexion. This Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Stratocaster travels with an included Strat/Tele Brown hardshell case.

The musical equivalent of a Sunday drive, this Postmodern Strat is on a full tank with no particular place to go.
