Frequently Asked Questions

Fender's Journeyman Relic process is designed to mimic age without compromising the wood's strength; it's primarily cosmetic.
They're designed to replicate the tonal characteristics of early '60s Strat pickups, but with modern winding techniques for improved reliability and output.
