The Fender Custom Shop Dale Wilson Masterbuilt '57s Strat NOS is a great example of the legendary prowess of the Masterbuilders.
A sort for lightweight Alder body is finished in a lovely Taos Turquoise Lacquer, as an NOS guitar this has a very thin nitro lacquer, period correct, 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 compared with other finishes. The NOS finish gives the appearance of a New Old Stock guitar, one that has been perfectly preserved since 1957 and doesn't feature any kind of ageing or relic work. An NOS finished guitar from Dale Wilson is a super rare find, this sure isn't going to hang around long.
The Roasted 3A Flame Maple neck is truly breathtaking. The Maple fingerboard features a 9.5" radius and 21 narrow tall frets, the '57s Custom Shop Stratocaster can handle anything you throw at it without even breaking a sweat; it's supremely comfortable and well balanced. The 57s style soft "V" profile is a joy to play and offers a great platform for both rhythm and lead playing. It measures at .850" at the 1st fret and .990" at the 12th fret.
With a trio of hand wound Fender Custom Shop Fat 57s pickups it delivers all the sweeping, versatile tones you would expect from a Strat. With a crisp harmonic content and a really refined and precise tone.
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 to!
