The Fender Custom Shop 1964 L-Series Stratocaster Journeyman stays true to a golden-era spec, with an Aged Sunburst finish that wears just enough checking and edge wear to feel lived-in without feeling worn out. The L-series neck plate and subtle relic work nod to a specific moment in Fender’s history, when small changes quietly defined a new era of production. A round-lam rosewood fingerboard sits atop a comfortable mid-’60s “C” neck, offering a familiar, fast-playing feel. Hand-wound ’64 Strat pickups deliver that clear, glassy top end with a bit of dry midrange punch that keeps things grounded. A careful blend of detail, restraint, and era-specific character.
