Detail 01
7.25–9.5-inch compound-radius rosewood fingerboard
The radius begins at 7.25 inches near the nut and becomes flatter toward the upper frets.


Independent shopping perspective
Designed as a road-worn-looking HSS Strat with expanded switching, this Custom Shop model pairs an alder body and top with a quarter-sawn roasted maple neck and compound-radius rosewood fingerboard. Two proprietary hand-wound single coils work alongside a Seymour Duncan SH4 Jeff Beck bridge humbucker. The five-way selector covers the core pickup choices, and the 1/2 Blender wiring adds a neck-and-bridge parallel blend by pulling up the master tone control. A Journeyman Relic nitro finish completes the aged appearance.
