2016 Fender Custom Shop Dale Wilson Masterbuilt 58 Stratocaster. Absolutely Stunning Ash bodied 58 Strat, There is currently a 4 year wait if you order a Dale Wilson Masterbuilt! This one is super resonant, Dale has clearly picked some nice woods for this, he's well revered for his Relic work and this is no exception. The body has loads of wear and checking to the Ultra Thin Nitro finish and the back of the quater sawn neck has that amazing worn smooth feeling you get on a well played vintage Strat. The spec sheet says '54 U' profile but its not too big and feels more like a 10/56.. The whole guitar resonates when you hit a chord and the Hand Wound Fat 50's complement this well with a really woody tone. It's been in a collection so has only been used sparingly. and is in excellent condition. Original Tweed Case, Cert, Strap and tags etc. Very special Strat, one of the best sounding 50's Relics we have seen and heard...
