Dale Wilson is known across the globe as one of Fenders highly revered Masterbuilders, a select group of the worlds most esteemed luthiers. With this Godly status, any guitar with his name attached generates a huge amount of interest, and rightly so.
The Fender Custom Shop Dale Wilson Masterbuilt '54 Tele is a great example of the legendary prowess of the Masterbuilders.
The Ash body is finished in a really authentically aged Smoked Nocaster Blonde. This finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further, it also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively. The wear patterns are incredible, so genuine and authentic, Dale Wilson is considered the King of relic work at the Custom Shop and its definitely on display here!
The AAA Flame Maple neck is real comfortable. With a Soft "V" profile, 7.25" radius and Vintage frets its super resonant and feels incredible underhand.
With the Telecaster design being considered by many to be the original workhorse guitar, the Custom Shop '54 Tele needs a pickup pairing that can deliver the classic Tele' twang. With a Josefina hand-wound Twisted Tele at the neck and a Josefina hand-wound Broadcaster in the bridge, it boasts a versatile and well balanced selection. Josefina Campos is known as being one of the Fender Custom Shops best pickups winders having learned her craft from legendary winder Abigail Ybarra who learned herself from the incredible Leo Fender himself. If you want high quality and pedigree then this is where you want to be!
Supreme quality from top to bottom and shipped in a Fender Custom Shop hardcase, it's easy to see the Fender Masterbuilders are so highly regarded. Guitars of this calibre just don't come around every day, we love it and we're pretty sure you will too!
