Fender Custom Shop '61 Strat Dale Wilson Heavy Relic Firemist Gold

The Fender Custom Shop Dale Wilson Masterbuilt '61 Strat Heavy Relic is a great example of the legendary prowess of the Masterbuilders.

An Alder body is finished in the unique Firemist Gold, one of Fender's most distinctive finishes, 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 aged hardware on this guitar really complements the relic finish, it's a real looker.

The rift sawn Maple neck has a smooth finish and a soft nitro on the back. With an AAA Rosewood fingerboard, 9.5" radius and 21 jumbo frets, the '61 Custom Shop Stratocaster can handle anything you throw at it without even breaking a sweat; it's supremely comfortable and well balanced. The 59 Esquire 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 59 Strat pickups it delivers all the sweeping, versatile tones you would expect from a Strat.

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!
