Fender Custom Shop 59 Strat Heavy Relic Black Dale Wilson Masterbuilt

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 '59 Strat Relic is a great example of the legendary prowess of the Masterbuilders.

An Ash body is finished in the classic Black with a Tortoise Shell pickguard, one of Fender's most popular combinations, it's a real beauty! Authentically aged, this finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further. The thin nitro finish also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively. Dale is the King of relic work at the custom shop and this certainly doesn't disappoint though!

The quartersawn Maple neck has a smooth finish and no finish to the back. With a 9.5" radius, AAA grade Rosewood fingerboard and 21 6105 frets, the '59 Custom Shop Stratocaster can handle anything you throw at it without even breaking a sweat; it's supremely comfortable and well balanced. The '60 Strat Oval C profile is a joy to play and offers a great platform for both rhythm and lead playing.

With a trio of hand wound Fender Custom Shop pickups it delivers all the sweeping, versatile tones you would expect from a Strat. A '69 sits at the neck while a Fat 50 and a Texas Special occupy the middle and bridge positions, it's a bold selection and allows for you to really mix up your sound.

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!
