Traditional choice of wood and excellent playability
Naturally, the Fender Custom Shop built the Fender 1955 Dual-Mag Stratocaster based on the original specificitations from the mid 1950s. Accordingly, a two-piece body made of selected ash joins a one-piece neck made of rift-sawn maple, which is highly stable due to the maple's standing annual rings. In addition, the combination of the "Soft V" neck profile and the vintage compound radius that increases from 7.25" to 9.5" guarantees superb playability for classical and modern techniques. Last but not least, the lovingly executed Journeyman Relic Nitro finish conveys the feel and look of a played-in and carefully maintained vintage original.
Hand-wound Dual-Mag pickups with different Alnico mixes deliver a variety of sounds in combination with the Strat-1/2-Blender circuit and the Greasebucket tone circuit.
Dual-Mag pickups and a versatile circuit
The Fender Custom Shop uses hand-wound Dual-Mag single-coils on the 1955 Dual-Mag Stratocaster Journeyman Relic, which tame the high frequencies with Alnico II magnets under the treble strings, whereas Alnico-V under the bass strings gives a piano-like response with rich pressure. In addition to the usual pickup combinations, the Strat-1/2-Blender circuit allows the neck pickup to be mixed in positions 1 and 2 of the 5-way switch, so that neck and bridge pickups or all three pickups can be used simultaneously. The practical FenderGreasebucket Tone Circuit ensures particularly smooth treble roll-offs without overemphasising the bass.
On the headstock featuring Custom Shop Limited Edition decals, vintage style tuners ensure precise tuning.
