Dale Wilson Masterbuilt '55 Stratocaster Relic 2-Tone Sunburst #CZ520065
2012 Fender Custom Shop Dale Wilson Masterbuilt '55 Stratocaster. Lovely light weight (6lb 14oz) Ash bodied 55 Strat. Nice Relic work with relatively light wear to the Thin Nitro finish on the body, the neck too, is not over worn. The neck is AA flame Maple with the classic 10/56V profile, 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets. Handwound 50's pickups sound very authentic with a woody vintage flavour. It's been in a collection, used sparingly and is in excellent condition. This is a a really nice Strat, both tone wise and the playability. Dale is the most popular of the Masterbuilders, so much so that he has now closed his order book as lead times exceeded 4 years! If you were able to order this now, it would cost well north of 11k....
