2017 Master Built Fender Custom Shop 63 Stratocaster Heavy Relic in Faded 3 Tone Sunburst. Built by Dennis Galuszka, this is an awesome looking and sounding 63 Heavy Relic. His aging is very authentic and replicates, very well, the way the nitro seems to wear and fade over time on a lot of 60's Sunbursts. This one has a lovely dark Round Lam AAA Rosewood board, sorted for darkness and a cool 4 ply Nitro Tort guard that looks great with the Sunburst! It sounds lovely, very 'Open' and vintage, Handwound Texas Specials are very different from the machine wound ones that were a common upgrade years ago. This is one of the best sounding Strats (old or new) I have heard in ages.. Superb playing, cool looking guitar in 'excellent' condition with Original Brown Tolex case and all Tags, Cert and strap etc.
