Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster Heavy Relic
Masterbuilt Dale Wilson!
1-off Custom Electric Guitar!
Amazing Finish, Incredible Tone and Feel!
Just in from the Fender Custom Shop! This stunning 60s Stratocaster Heavy Relic was Masterbuilt by Dale Wilson for a special summer dealer event and Make’n Music was lucky enough to obtain it for sale. Dale is highly regarded for his realistic relic finish work and this guitar is a perfect example of his craftsmanship. Based on a vintage 60s Strat and customized with the following upgrades for improved playability, functionality and tone!
A premium Alder body was selected for tone and weight. Beautiful Birdseye Maple was used for the neck wood and paired with a dark Rosewood “Round Lam” fingerboard. The edges are nicely rolled for a comfy vintage feel and 6105 frets were selected and impeccably dressed for exceptional playability. Electronically we have a set of Hand-Wound Master Design Limited pickups. The middle PU’p is RWRP for silent operation in the 2/4 positions. The finish is out of this world! It’s a Green-Gold Patina over 3 Tone Sunburst and it really looks like it has been gigged nightly for the last 60+ years in a hot, sweaty, smoky juke-joint. Combined with a dark neck tint and artfully applied “filth and grime” – it looks like you should be able to smell this one coming! But alas, it’s new. You can add your own smell :0)
Overall – This guitar is one of the most comfortable, authentic and overall fantastic pieces I have ever played from the Custom Shop – and that is saying A LOT (as I have had a lot of guitars through here). It’s light, loud and lively acoustically and plugged in things only get better. Sustain for days, crisp clear and responsive tone with exceptional resonance.
THERE IS A 5 YEAR WAIT for new Dale Wilson guitars from the Fender Custom Shop. This is a good example of why – they are just so good! Avoid disappointment and future regret! Buy this Custom Shop Strat today!
