Masterbuilt Dale Wilson 62 Strat Ultra Relic Olympic White #CZ543069

Absolutely killer 2019 Dale Wilson Masterbuilt 62 Stratocaster in Olympic White. Ordered by us new and feautured in Guitarist Magazine. This is most peoples perfect spec Strat, Oly White with Tort Guard, Josefina hand wound Fat 60's, AAA Dark Slab board, 65 C neck profile with 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets. Amazing Ultra Relic Aging which Dale is so revered for. It sounds superb as you would expect, 'warm and fat' with a real woody tone to the lows. The edges of the fingerboard are beautifully rolled and it feels and plays great. Part of a collection and in as new condition. The ultimate Custom Shop Strat? We think so! 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 we think it would cost north of 11k...With original case and cert etc.

The video below is from when the guitar first arrived new in 2019.

Dale Wilson arrived at Fender in 2003, joined the Custom Shop in 2005 and became a Master Builder in 2011. Building guitars has been a driving passion for the California native since childhood. “Ever since I can remember, I’ve always loved guitars,” he said. “I didn’t dream of being a rock star; I dreamed of building the ultimate guitar. I was equally enthralled with the guitars just as much as I was with the players.”

Woodworking runs in the Wilson family, and the requisite Custom Shop zeal for outstanding craftsmanship has long been part of Dale’s DNA. He did repair work and mods in a small guitar shop right out of high school in the late 1980s; subsequently moving on to stints at Dobro and Rickenbacker before arriving at Fender, where he worked on Guild, Gretsch and Benedetto guitars before beginning his apprenticeship with various Custom Shop Master Builders.

He enjoys calling upon his extensive and varied experience as a craftsman to create highly distinctive guitars such as the Resophonic Thinline Telecaster®. Wilson also built five beautiful custom guitars for the January 2011 NAMM Show while still an apprentice and was asked to sign the back of the headstocks, garnering him his Master Builder status.
