The Fender Custom Shop Dealer Select Journeyman HST Stratocaster is that singular guitar that instantly adds a new level of depth to anyone’s collection. The HST is made for the most serious of Fender fans. At first glance, it’s a Strat meets Tele Custom, with a Seymour Duncan hand-wound humbucker and dual Custom Shop single coils. But, with an instrument like this, it’s all about the details—the roasted maple neck, compound radius AAA rosewood fretboard and lightly aged Journeyman finish.
Fender chose alder for the body, a balanced tone wood that makes a perfect sonic base for pickups. It has a Journeyman relic finish—the shine of a closet classic, with the lacquer checking that only age (and the Fender Custom Shop) imparts.
There is something intoxicating about roasted maple, and Fender uses it to full effect with this neck. It has a ’60s oval C-shape, based specifically on a 1963 Strat. The AAA rosewood fretboard has a compound radius—7.25? to 9.25?. It has a rounder, chunkier, feel for lower fret chording; moving up the neck, the fretboard flattens for better bending, faster picking and more tuneful arpeggios.
