Fender Custom Shop 1959 Precision Bass Journeyman 3 Tone Sunburst
The Fender Limited Edition 1959 Precision Bass Journeyman is a meticulous reincarnation of a legend.
In 1957, Fender gave the first electric bass its second major makeover, in the process creating the iconic instrument as we know it today.
Fender’s world-class Custom Shop luthiers painstakingly handcrafted the Limited Edition ’59 Precision, complete with vintage-spec details such as its 2-piece alder body with Journeyman lacquer finish and gold anodized pickguard, vintage-style bridge and tuners, tinted quartersawn maple neck with a 1960 P Bass Oval C profile, and rosewood fingerboard with a period-correct 7.25-inch radius.
In the electronics department, the Limited Edition ’59 Precision features a hand-wound ’57 P Bass pickup that delivers the tone that has driven countless iconic recordings. Play a bass legend: the Fender Limited Edition 1959 Precision Bass Journeyman.
With Fender’s Limited Edition 1959 Precision Bass Journeyman, there’s genius in the details.
This remarkable guitar’s beauty, tone, and playability are no accident. Originally sporting a non-contoured “slab” body at its 1951 launch, the Precision received its first makeover for the ’54/’55 model year, gaining the comfortable Stratocaster-like body contours we know and love.
Of course, a late-’50s Precision has to have the classic gold anodized aluminum pickguard. Then, there’s the satisfyingly chunky quartersawn maple neck crowned by a vintage-style slab rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges.
But in a nod to modern player preferences, this ’board has a 7.25-inch radius and 21 medium-jumbo frets. And pumping out that classic beefy growl is a hand-wound Custom Shop split-coil ’57 P Bass pickup.
For the Limited Edition 1959 Precision Bass Journeyman, Fender Custom Shop artisans referenced several original ’59s and exhaustively analyzed them to ensure a painstaking level of vintage accuracy.
Every facet of the original instruments — including minute details such as curves, perimeters, radii, and more — was examined, measured, evaluated, and ultimately incorporated into this amazing instrument.
Though a relic’d guitar finish is almost as common these days as a flawless factory finish, it was the Fender Custom Shop that pioneered the process — and they know how to do it better than anyone. Fender offers different levels of finish distressing.
One of the newer techniques is the Journeyman, found on this Limited Edition 1959 Precision.
This is an authentic nitrocellulose lacquer finish, which is thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the wood to breathe and the tone to bloom.
