Vintage Soul, Modern Playability
This isn’t just another Strat—it’s a meticulously crafted tool that blends the best of Fender’s past and present. This pre-owned 2023 Custom Shop Postmodern Strat is in mint condition, offering a Journeyman Relic Aged Black finish that feels like a trusted old friend from the very first chord. It’s got the vibe of a road-warrior guitar, but with the flawless playability of a modern machine.
Effortless Feel, Classic Profile
The neck is where this guitar truly shines. It features a rift sawn maple build with a comfortable 1959 “D” profile that feels substantial yet fast. Paired with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard and a compound 9.5″ to 12″ radius, you get the best of both worlds—easy chording down low and choke-free bends up high. The 21 narrow tall frets make for a buttery playing experience, whether you’re laying down rhythm tracks or soaring through a solo.
A New Spectrum of Strat Tones
Under the hood, this Strat is loaded with a trio of hand-wound Dual-Mag II pickups. These aren’t your average single-coils; they use a mix of Alnico 5 magnets for the bass strings and Alnico 2 for the treble strings, delivering a beautifully balanced tone with tight, articulate lows and sweet, shimmering highs. But the real secret weapon is the custom wiring—a 5-way switch paired with a Neck/Bridge Pickup Blend control. This lets you dial in Tele-style tones by combining the neck and bridge pickups for a whole new sonic palette.
Built for the Player
Every detail of this Postmodern Strat is designed for performance. The 2-piece select alder body is resonant and lightweight, finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer that lets the wood breathe. The Custom Shop Vintage Synchronized Tremolo offers smooth, stable pitch control, while the vintage-style tuners hold strong. This is a player’s guitar, through and through, ready for the studio, the stage, or your favorite armchair.
