The 2020 Fender Custom Shop Limited Dual Mag '55 Stratocaster in Super Faded Aged Sherwood Green Journeyman Relic is a masterful blend of vintage aesthetics and modern refinements. Weighing 7lbs 12oz, this guitar is a testament to Fender's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The '55 Dual Mag Strat is equipped with hand-wound Custom Shop Dual Mag pickups, which are designed for balanced volume and tone. These pickups feature a unique blend of Alnico 2 and Alnico 5 magnets, providing tempered treble strings and a piano-like punch to the bass strings. Additionally, the pickups are wrapped with copper tape and grounded to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The guitar's two-piece ’55 select ash body boasts deep contours and a Journeyman Relic lacquer finish, offering both comfort and a well-worn, vintage look. The tinted, one-piece, rift-sawn maple neck features a “’54 Soft V”-shaped profile, with a 7.25”-9.5” compound-radius fingerboard and 21 #6105 frets for a comfortable playing experience. Under the hood, this Stratocaster includes Strat ½ Blender wiring and a Greasebucket™ tone circuit, which preserves gain when rolling back the tone control. The pickup routes and control cavity are shielded and grounded for reduced EMI. Aesthetically, the guitar features an anodized Gold pickguard, “transitional” ’54 pickup covers, and ’55-style knobs. Other notable features include 5-way switching, a vintage-style synchronized tremolo, tuning machines, a bone nut, and a wing string tree. The guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
